About Inverter Technology
Inverter technology was developed in Japan and is being used in many household appliances such as air conditioners and refrigerators. Inverter compressors are mainly used in refrigerators to:
• Vary the speed of the motor so as to control the cooling capacity as per requirement
• Save more electricity (around 30%-50%) than conventional refrigerators available in the market
Technavio’s analysts forecast the global inverter technology refrigerators market to grow at a CAGR of 11.44% during the period 2016-2020.
