Ac Fan Mode Power Consumption
But even more importantly get acquainted with your ac s capabilities.
Ac fan mode power consumption. By the way the outdoor fan motor of this particular lg ac is. You re using less power because the compressor is not kicking on which is what uses most of the power. Compressor is the most electricity consuming component of an air conditioner. I have studied some papers in which the energy consumption of air conditioner and refrigerator on fan mode when the compressor is turned off have considered negligible and they have ignored it.
When you set the temperature on the ac in the cool mode the electrical consumption will vary according to the set temperature. This video gives you some simple maintenance tips and tweaks that will help you save energy and cut down on your electricity bill. But the downside is that no cooling happens when compressor is off. This obviously has good energy saving impact because the compressor is switched off.
However the difference in power consumption will largely depend on a few factors such as how cool the unit is set to. It is better to use a ceiling fan in. For the case of the fan mode this is not the case as the fan will be circulating the free natural air of the room and can cool the hotter parts. When the compressor is on when other modes are being used there is the need of the cooling of the hotter parts of the system and some energy must be used to circulate the refrigerant that is used.
Although it seems that inverter acs are more efficient possibly saving you 30 50 on energy there are still things you should do in order to use less power no matter which ac you own first of all make sure you install the right sized air conditioner for the designated room. V fan mode if your ac running most of the time in fan mode than electricity consumption will be decreased significantly. An ac unit on fan mode usually consumes about 150w with the fan running while the ac unit consumes 1000w when on default or cool mode. This page claims the fan motor only consumes 10 of the total power used by the unit but no idea where that figure came from.
