Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2728280A1] Provided are an air conditioner and a control method thereof. The air conditioner includes a compressor compressing an inflow refrigerant to discharge the compressed refrigerant, an outdoor heat exchanger in which outdoor air introduced into an outdoor unit and the refrigerant are heat-exchanged with each other, an indoor heat exchanger in which indoor air introduced into an indoor unit and the refrigerant are heat-exchanged with each other, valves respectively disposed in an inflow-side tube and a discharge-side tube of the indoor heat exchanger, and a refrigerant leakage detection part directly or indirectly detecting leakage of the refrigerant. When the leakage of the refrigerant is detected, the valves are blocked in stages.
