AIR CONDITIONER AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME

摘要

An air conditioner and a method of controlling the same are provided. The air conditioner includes an outdoor unit provided with a compressor, an outdoor temperature sensor, an outdoor humidity recognition part, and a control part. The outdoor temperature sensor is installed on the outdoor unit to sense outdoor temperature. The outdoor humidity recognition part is installed on the outdoor unit to recognize outdoor humidity information. The control part controls an operation of the compressor, based information sensed from the outdoor temperature sensor and the outdoor humidity recognition part. When the outdoor temperature has a preset value, the control part determines target evaporation temperature such that the target evaporation temperature is decreased as outdoor humidity increases, and the control part drives the compressor at an operation frequency corresponding to the determined target evaporation temperature.

主权项

1. An air conditioner comprising:
an outside unit provided with a compressor; a temperature sensor attached to the outside unit to sense outside temperature; a humidity recognition part attached to the outside unit to receive outside humidity information; and a controller to control an operation of the compressor, based on information sensed from the temperature sensor and the humidity recognition part, wherein when the outside temperature is a predetermined value, the controller determines a target evaporation temperature such that the target evaporation temperature is decreased as the outside humidity increases, and the controller operates the compressor at an operation frequency corresponding to the determined target evaporation temperature.
