Abstract
An air conditioner according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises: an outdoor unit including a plurality of outdoor heat exchangers and an outdoor fan that blows air to the plurality of outdoor heat exchangers; at least one indoor unit connected to the outdoor unit by refrigerant piping; and a control device that controls the rotation speed of the outdoor fan. When the number of outdoor heat exchangers in use is increased, the control device determines the rotation speed of the outdoor fan so that the amount of heat exchanged in the outdoor heat exchangers after the number thereof is increased is equal to or less than the amount of heat exchanged in the outdoor heat exchanger before the number thereof is increased, and when the number of outdoor heat exchangers in use is decreased, the control device determines the rotation speed of the outdoor fan so that the amount of heat exchanged in the outdoor heat exchangers after the number thereof is decreased is equal to or larger than the amount of heat exchanged in the outdoor heat exchanger before the number thereof is decreased.
