The variable speed compressor offers maximum low energy consumption.
This is achieved with the longest duty cycle that the system allow in low rpm, avoided in
this way to reduce the No of start-ups / stops of the compressor. The compressor stop
only for few minutes. This is normal. Also it is normal than when the compressor starts
