Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2615388A1] An air conditioner that includes an outdoor heat exchanger 14, an indoor heat exchanger 16, a four-way valve 8, and a compressor 6 and that melts frost, deposited on the outdoor heat exchanger 14, by refrigerant heated by the compressor 6 has indoor wall temperature detecting means 46 for detecting temperature of a wall in a room, and defrosting means for performing defrosting by selecting either a heating cycle or a cooling cycle on the basis of the indoor wall temperature detected by the indoor wall temperature detecting means 46 and controlling the four-way valve 8 so as to allow the selected cycle to be performed, when it is determined that the defrosting is required.
