Abstract:
This air conditioner comprises: an absorbent material that is provided to an outdoor unit and absorbs moisture from outdoor air; a moisture absorption channel which passes through the absorbent material and through which the outdoor air flows from the outdoors back to the outdoors; and a moisture absorption fan that generates a flow of outdoor air in the moisture absorption channel. The air conditioner further comprises: a motor that rotationally drives the absorbent material; a control unit that controls the moisture absorption fan and the motor; a regeneration channel which passes through the absorbent material and through which the outdoor air flows; a regeneration fan that sends outdoor air to the regeneration channel; and a heater that heats the outdoor air upstream of the absorbent material in the regeneration channel. The control unit acquires outdoor relative humidity information and, on the basis of the outdoor relative humidity information, controls at least one among the rotation speed of the motor, the rotation speed of the moisture absorption fan, the rotation speed of the regeneration fan, and the input voltage of the heater.
