An inverter compressor is an alternating current (AC) compressor "Compressor (machine)"), which, through an electronic system "Inverter (electronics)"), regulates its rotation speed.

It is of the hermetic type, with reciprocating or spiral movement"). This type of compressor uses an inverter in order to control the rotation speed and thus modulate the refrigeration capacity depending on the needs of the moment.

Many refrigeration and air conditioning systems require better operating processes, efficient, compact, environmental friendly, easy to install and maintain. Additionally, cooling requirements vary over a wide range during the day and year due to environmental conditions, work conditions, use, etc.

The inverter "Inverter (electronics)") controls the rotation speed of the compressor "Compressor (machine)"). Unlike the old ones that run at a fixed speed, it is designed to operate at different speeds and thus modulate the cooling capacity. In turn, it has a special lubrication system that properly manages the oil in order to increase the useful life of the compressor without losing performance.
