what is the difference between UPS & Inverter..

Answer / nareshji

ups means un inturrupted power supply with a strict voltage
regulation and below 8 mili second transfering or switching
capacity of load to battery operated mode it gives perfect
output which is between safe limit of critical costly
precise components like medical instruments or computers
while inverter is low cost version of ups means its output
voltage is not so presisely regulated it may very between
large voltage range and mostly used to run fans and
household tubelights if you will use ups it will
continuously run your computer in case of power failure
while if you use inverter then there is chances to switch
off and restart of your computer and loss of all your
unsaved data
thanks

what is the difference between UPS & Inverter..

Answer / matrix

The ups and inverter having static switch,which is used for
the output of system changed from normal mode to battery
mode and battery mode to normal mode through this static switch.
If the action of static switch is very fast it is called ups
(output not disturb) others called inverter.

Answer / usman

salam, the ofline UPS is that who give the output through
battries not driect ,but on line UPS give its output
driectly not via battries when input(extrenal power sourse)
available.

what is the difference between UPS & Inverter..

Answer / quacker

UPS basically is an Inverter since they have the same
principles. However, UPS tends to be a power supply back-up
system because there is a battery system that is used as
back-up power when normal power supply is n/a. In addition,
an Inverter function on a UPS works when UPS is off-line,
means there is no charging activity to the battery. Beyond
that (online) it's only a general power supply with double
works as battery charger as well.
The Inverter isn't always a UPS, because sometimes inverter
is used as continuous system that always on (inverting
function running) and there might be no battery as well. So
it tends to be an internal part of electrical system that
hopefully works for inverting Direct Current at all times.

Answer / oslec

UPS provide a uninterruptible power because it has a backed-
up battery, output power will be either AC or DC, wheras
INVERTER converts output voltage from DC to AC.

We are preparing another project which involves Waste heat recovery from a 1 MW GE Engine. The Engine in particular gives out flue gas at 487Deg C with a flow rate of 5650 kg/hour and this can be cooled to 180 Deg C. This gives a thermal output of ~ 594 KW that is available for input to VAM via heat exchanger / boiler. Additionally 581 KW will be available from engine jacket water (temperature profile 80/ 80 Deg C and a flow rate of 50m3/hr) Our estimation is that 300 TR of cooling is possible with a suitable VAM machine(s). Please advise what is the most suitable arrangement with maximum TR and min Capital expenditure. plz reply me as early as possible
