Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2615389A1] An air conditioner includes an outdoor heat exchanger 14, an indoor heat exchanger 16, a four-way valve 8, and a compressor 6, and performs defrosting by melting frost deposited on the outdoor heat exchanger 14 with a refrigerant heated by the compressor 6. The air conditioner further includes an indoor fan 34 for blowing air heated by the indoor heat exchanger 16 into a room, and defrosting means for, upon decision that defrosting is required, performing the defrosting by controlling the four-way valve 8 so as to allow a heating cycle to be performed while controlling the indoor fan 34 so as to keep air blown into the room.
