<p>Provided is an air conditioner, which includes an outdoor unit, at least one indoor unit, a refrigerant tube (151), a receiver (151), an external temperature sensing part (110), an indoor load sensing part (190), and a control part (200). The outdoor unit includes a compressor (12) and an outdoor heat exchanger (11). The indoor unit is connected to the outdoor unit and includes an indoor heat exchanger (13). The refrigerant tube connects the outdoor unit to the indoor unit. The receiver stores at least one portion of refrigerant flowing through the refrigerant tube. The external temperature sensing part is disposed on the outdoor unit to sense outdoor temperature. The indoor load sensing part senses an operation capacity of the indoor unit. The control part adjusts an amount of refrigerant to be stored in the receiver, based on at least one of values sensed by the external temperature sensing part and the indoor load sensing part.</p> |
