Abstract:
1. An air conditioner that processes a sensible heat load and a latent heat load in an indoor space by performing a vapor compression type refrigeration cycle operation, comprising: a control unit configured to perform a priority control operation that prioritizes processing at least one of said sensible heat load and said latent heat load from startup until a normal operation is started; and a detector unit configured to detect at least one of temperature and humidity in said indoor space, during said priority control operation, said control unit switching from said priority control operation that prioritizes processing said sensible heat load to priority control operation that prioritizes processing said latent heat load, or from said priority control operation that prioritizes processing said latent heat load to said priority control operation that prioritizes processing said sensible heat load based on a detection result from said detector unit.
