In recent years, variable frequency air compressors have played an important role in the air compressor market due to their good energy saving properties. Even so, many users still don't know the difference between a variable frequency air compressor and a power frequency air compressor. In fact, the main differences between variable frequency air compressors and industrial frequency air compressors are as follows:

1. Stable air pressure.The variable frequency air compressor takes advantage of the stepless speed regulation feature of the frequency converter. It can start smoothly through the controller or the PID regulator inside the frequency converter. It can quickly adjust the response to situations where the air consumption fluctuates greatly.

2. No impact at startup.The frequency converter itself has the function of a soft starter. The maximum starting current is within 1.2 times of the rated current, while power frequency starting is generally more than 6 times of the rated current. Compared with variable frequency, the starting impact is very small. This impact not only on the power grid, but also on the entire mechanical system will be greatly reduced.

3. Variable flow control.The frequency converter of the variable frequency air compressor adjusts the motor speed in real time according to the actual air consumption to control the exhaust volume. Therefore, the variable frequency air compressor can work in a relatively wide range of exhaust volume.

4. AC power supply has good voltage adaptability

Due to the over-modulation technology used in the frequency converter, when the AC power supply voltage is slightly low, it can still output sufficient torque to drive the motor; when the voltage is slightly higher, it will not cause the output voltage to the motor to be too high;

For the occasion of self-generation, variable frequency drive can better show its advantages;

According to the characteristics of the motor VF (the variable frequency air compressor operates below the rated voltage in the energy-saving state), the effect is obvious for sites with low grid voltage.

5. Low noise.Most of the working conditions of the frequency conversion system are lower than the rated speed. The mechanical noise and wear of the host are reduced, effectively extending the maintenance time and service life.
