<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an air conditioner that operates without deficiency in performance by controlling an optimal throttle mechanism in response to humidity. <P>SOLUTION: The air conditioner includes: a center temperature detecting unit 5 for detecting temperature of a refrigerant pipe installed in a substantially center of an indoor heat exchanger; an outlet temperature detecting unit 14 for detecting temperature of an outlet of the refrigerant pipe when the indoor heat exchanger operates as an evaporator; and a humidity sensor 15 for detecting the indoor humidity. When the temperature difference between the temperature Teva detected by the center temperature detecting unit and the temperature Teva_out detected by the outlet temperature detecting unit is larger than the prescribed temperature difference ΔT, the opening of the expansion value of the throttle mechanism is opened. When the humidity detected by the humidity sensor is smaller than the prescribed humidity, the opening of the expansion value of the throttle mechanism is not adjusted. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
