I have recently acquired a Panasonic DC Inverter Split type 1.5 ton AC model CS/CU-K18PKF super tropical inverter deluxe.
Among you who have measured room temperatures vs. AC cycling can only confirm me on the issue I am facing here with this Inverter.
The cooling itself is really good and chilling. Effective too. In the vent it measures 11.8 to 12 degree C and drops my bedroom temp from 33 C to 26 C right under 15 minutes as measured.
Now the problem part; Nowadays my bedroom temp lingers around 32 to 33 C with 45% humidity. I usually set my preferred temp at 26 C, with Fan speed, Op Mode etc on Auto option and switch the inverter On. It slowly gains speed and takes around 1 minute to fire up its compressor to full speed and on the 15th minute it has already lowered temp down to 25 C (1 degree less than my set temp) on digital thermometer. At this point, I hear the compressor slowing down so is the blower. Here the inverter part starts as the compressor instead of tripping slows down, right? Now this slow paced operation continues ... I mean it continues through the rest of the night... I never see compressor firing up again, fine.. It too being an inverter thing that it maintains the temp by its gradual momentum instead of racing up to full speeds. Thing is, I see the room temp starts to rise moves past 26 C (my set temp) and slowly rises up past 27 C and as far as 27.8 C (which is far greater than my set temp of 26C) however rest of the night it stays varying in between 27 to 27.8 C. The compressor never tries to take it back down to 26 C again. I never see it maintaining closely around 26 C for that matter. Which I think it should ???
Inverters are designed to maintain more comfortable range of temps and while their motor slows down they gradually expend the electricity to keep just enough momentum to stay around in the vicinity of temp set by user. But contrary to that, what I see here is that my inverter is letting it loose and exceed my selected temp of 26 by whole 1.5-1.8 C (27.8 C).
Anybody can confirm how their inverters or specifically the Panasonic econavi inverter models behave in terms of Temperature cycling? It is going to be very difficult to explain all this to my dealer to settle on warranty aspects etc.
