Abstract
The drying operation menu determination means configures the drying operation by combining a heating operation and at least either one of a fanning operation and a fan stop operation by the air volume determination means when carrying out the drying operation with heating operation, and configures the drying operation by combining a fanning operation and a fan stop operation by the air volume determination means when carrying out the drying operation without heating operation.
Claims9
An air-conditioning apparatus capable of carrying out a cooling operation and a heating operation with a refrigerant cycle constituted by a compressor, an indoor heat exchanger, an expansion valve, and an outdoor heat exchanger being connected by refrigerant piping, and capable of carrying out a drying operation for drying an indoor unit constituted by the indoor heat exchanger and an indoor fan supplying air to the indoor heat exchanger, the air-conditioning apparatus comprising:
- a setting means setting whether a drying operation with heating operation or a drying operation without heating operation is to be carried out;
- a drying operation menu determination means determining a menu of a drying operation on the basis of a setting of the setting means;
- and
- an air volume determination means determining a rotation speed of the indoor fan on the basis of a determination result of the drying operation menu determination means and controlling an air volume of the indoor fan, wherein
- the drying operation menu determination means
- configures the drying operation by combining a heating operation and at least either one of a fanning operation and a fan stop operation by the air volume determination means when the drying operation with heating operation is carried out, and
- configures the drying operation by combining a fanning operation and a fan stop operation by the air volume determination means when the drying operation without heating operation is carried out.
