<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a highly reliable air conditioner capable of elongating the service life or capable of saving the energy of an electrostatic atomizer. <P>SOLUTION: This air conditioner is provided with the electrostatic atomizer for generating electrostatic mist in an indoor unit, and provided with a control means for controlling the indoor unit and the electrostatic atomizer, a temperature sensor for detecting the temperature of indoor air, and a humidity sensor for detecting the humidity of the indoor air, and an operation permitting area for permitting the operation of the electrostatic atomizer and a stable atomizing area in the operation permitting area are set based on the temperature and the humidity of the indoor air. A control means prohibits the operation of the electrostatic atomizer when the temperature detected by the temperature sensor and the humidity detected by the humidity sensor are out of the operation permitting area, and continuously operates or intermittently operates the electrostatic atomizer for a first predetermined time in the stable atomizing area, and performs continuous operation different from the continuous operation of the first predetermined time in the operation permitting area and outside the stable atomizing area. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT</p> |
