Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2565559A2] The air conditioner is capable of executing heating operation while user's comfort is maintained. The air conditioner includes an indoor temperature detection means 7 for detecting an indoor temperature, and a target temperature setting means for setting a target temperature, wherein a specified compressor-stop condition that is satisfied when a state that the indoor temperature is higher than the target temperature by a specified temperature difference has lasted for a specified duration time is previously set, and wherein after the indoor temperature has exceeded the target temperature and when the specified compressor-stop condition is satisfied, the compressor 11 is stopped. The air conditioner further includes a bypass circuit 16 for connecting one point between the indoor heat exchanger 5 and the pressure reducer 13 with another point between the four-way valve 12 and an inlet port of the compressor 11, and a bypass-use two-way valve 17 provided in the bypass circuit 16. After the indoor temperature has exceeded the target temperature and before the specified compressor-stop condition is satisfied, the bypass-use two-way valve 17 is opened. Thus, the likelihood that the compressor 11 may be stopped and the air conditioning may be stopped is lowered, so that the indoor user's comfort can be maintained.
