PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an air conditioner wherein dehumidifying capability of the air conditioner is improved upon the operation of low cooling capability. SOLUTION: An indoor heat exchanger is adapted by connecting in series a main indoor heat exchanger 3a divided into a plurality of sub-heat exchangers corresponding to suction inlets and an auxiliary indoor heat exchanger 3b accommodated inside the main indoor heat exchanger 3a through a drawing mechanism 6. Further, a bypassing passage 8 is provided between the main indoor heat exchanger 3a and the drawing mechanism 6 and between the auxiliary indoor heat exchanger 3b and an expansion valve 4 through an opening/closing valve 7. Upon ordinary cooling and heating operations the opening/closing valve 7 is opened, and upon a low cooling capability operation, the opening/closing valve 7 is closed and the expansion valve 4 is fully opened for reheating/ dehumidifying operation.
