In a nutshell, a compressor works by drawing in cool, low-pressure refrigerant from indoors and pressurizes it to increase its temperature above the temperature outdoors. Traditionally, The constant speed compressor operates in an ON/OFF fashion as the room temperature reaches the set temperature. This sort of operation results in large fluctuations in the room temperature and wastes energy during the frequent ON/OFF operation as the compressor either works on full capacity or turns off.

A compressor with inverter technology can run at variable speeds to improve efficiency. Variable-speed operation not only keeps us comfortable but also reduces energy consumption by up to 70% compared to conventional constant-speed (ON/OFF) compressors. Inverter technology is also particularly efficient at low loads’ operation while continuing to maintain the desired temperatures.

The shaft-through structure of the R1 Compressor eliminates tilt at low loads and makes bottom compression possible. When the compression process happens at a lower part within the compressor, the compressor operates with more stability and improves the overall efficiency. The more stable operation also reduces vibration and translates to a lower noise emission, particularly at low-load operation. As a hybrid scroll compressor, the R1 combines the smooth and efficient operation of a scroll compressor with the simplicity of a rotary compressor.
