<p>The present invention relates to an air conditioner which can determine refrigerant leakage based on characteristics of air conditioning space, and set a reference refrigerant leakage amount to coincide with the characteristics of the air conditioning space. According to an embodiment of the present invention, provided is an air conditioner comprising: a compressor to compress a refrigerant; an outdoor heat exchanger to heat-exchange outdoor air with the refrigerant; an indoor heat exchanger to heat-exchange indoor air with the refrigerant; a refrigerant leakage detection unit to detect the refrigerant leaking to indoor space; and a control unit to block the flow of the refrigerant based on a detected refrigerant leakage amount. The control unit is capable of selecting the reference refrigerant leakage amount to be determined as the refrigerant leakage based on the characteristics of the air conditioning space.</p> |
