(54) Air conditioner, control method thereof and dehumidifying method thereof


(57) An air conditioner, a control method thereof, and a dehumidifying method thereof are provided. The air conditioner comprises an air-conditioning unit (10) and an input unit (20), and a control unit (50). The air-conditioning unit (10) exchanges heat between a cooling medium flowing therein and the air in the interior and exterior spaces so as to dehumidify the interior space. The input unit (20) receives a signal for selecting a mode for dehumidifying the interior space and an input dehumidifying temperature. The control unit (50) controls the air-conditioning unit (10) to continuously dehumidify, for a preset dehumidifying time, the interior space at a set dehumidifying temperature, which is set to increase by degrees depending upon the input dehumidifying temperature when the input unit receives the selection signal and the input dehumidifying temperature.
