Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2330359A1] An air conditioner includes a compressor 1, a four-way valve 2, an indoor heat exchanger 3, a pressure reducing device 4, and an outdoor heat exchanger 5, all connected in series via a refrigerant circuit to define a heat pump refrigerating cycle. The air conditioner also includes an indoor fan 3 for exchanging heat between the indoor heat exchanger 3 and indoor air, an outdoor fan 8 for exchanging heat between the outdoor heat exchanger 5 and outdoor air, and an outdoor temperature sensor 6 for detecting an outdoor temperature. When the outdoor temperature detected by the outdoor temperature sensor 6 is greater than or equal to a predetermined temperature, the compressor is stopped, and the outdoor fan is operated to defrost the outdoor heat exchanger 5.
