The present invention solves the problem of how to provide an air conditioner that can perform both a latent heat process and a sensible heat process as a stand-alone unit, can reduce production and installation costs, and can achieve energy conservation. A drainless air conditioner ( 10 ) performs an air conditioning process on mixed air, which is a mixture of some indoor air ( RA ) and outdoor air ( OA ). A first adsorptive heat exchanger ( 51 ) and a second adsorptive heat exchanger ( 52 ) are capable of performing a humidity conditioning process on the air. A air heat exchanger ( 60 ) is capable of exchanging heat between the air and a fluid after it has undergone a heat treatment by a heat source. The outdoor air undergoes a humidity conditioning process by the first adsorptive heat exchanger ( 51 ) or the second adsorptive heat exchanger ( 52 ) and becomes the mixed air, wherein some of the indoor air ( RA ) is mixed. The air heat exchanger ( 60 ) exchanges heat between the mixed air and cold water or hot water. Exhaust air ( EA ) undergoes the humidity conditioning process by the first adsorptive heat exchanger ( 51 ) or the second adsorptive heat exchanger ( 52 ) and is subsequently delivered to the outdoor space. |
