Abstract (en)
The present invention discloses an air conditioner having multiple outdoor units, including a plurality of outdoor units disposed outdoors, at least one indoor unit connected to the plurality of outdoor units through refrigerant tubes, for exchanging heat with indoor air, and when part of the outdoor units are operated, a control unit for storing refrigerants in non-operated outdoor units, so that a proper amount of refrigerants can be supplied to the operated outdoor units. The air conditioner having the multiple outdoor units can improve performance and durability by preventing the refrigerants from being excessively concentrated on the operated outdoor units.
