Air-conditioning apparatus

摘要

[Name of Document] [Abstract] [Object] An air-conditioning apparatus that can minimize an intermittent operation of the compressor so that a decrease in efficiency of the air conditioning apparatus caused by the intermittent operation and a variation of an indoor inlet temperature caused by the intermittent operation can be reduced. [Solution] It is determined whether thermo-off postponement control is allowed or not on the basis of a current compressor operating frequency when a thermo off condition is satisfied. If it is determined that thermo-off postponement control is allowed, the thermo-off postponement control in which a lowest operating frequency in an operating frequency range of a compressor 1 is temporarily reduced within a range greater than or equal to a minimum operating frequency of the compressor 1 in use so as to continue an operation. If it is determined that thermo-off postponement control is not allowed, thermo-off of stopping the compressor 1 is performed. [Selected Figure] Fig. 2
