An air conditioner for air conditioning the interior of a compartment having a compressor, an electric motor, a detection device, a rotation speed sensor, and a controller is provided. The compressor compresses refrigerant gas and changes the displacement. The electric motor drives the compressor, and is capable of rotating at a constant reference rotation speed. The detection device detects information related to the thermal load on the air conditioner. The rotation speed sensor detects the rotation speed of the motor. The controller computes a target torque of the compressor at the reference rotation speed of the motor based on the thermal load information detected by the detection device, and computes an input current value to be supplied to the motor. The input current value corresponds to the target torque. The controller drives the motor according to the computed input current value, and controls the displacement of the compressor such that the detected rotation speed of the motor matches the reference rotation speed.
