<p>PURPOSE: An air conditioner and a control method thereof are provided to prevent the freezing of an evaporator by measuring water flow in the evaporator. CONSTITUTION: A control method of an air conditioner is as follows: A compressor operates(S210). An inflow temperature, which is the temperature of a refrigerant drawn into the compressor, is measured. If the inflow temperature is lower than a normal intake temperature, the compressor stops(S250). The water flow of an evaporator is detected. If water does not flow in the evaporator, the compressor stops. [Reference numerals] (AA) Start; (BB,DD,FF) Yes; (CC,EE,GG) No; (HH) End; (S210) Operate a compressor; (S220) Flow switch is in operation?; (S230) Outflow water temperature < Normal outflow water temperature ?; (S240) Suction temperature < Normal suction temperature ?; (S250) Stop the operation of the compressor</p> |
