Abstract
An air conditioning system includes a compressor to compress refrigerant; a first heat exchanger to condense the compressed refrigerant into a supercooled liquid state; a first decompressor to decompress the condensed refrigerant; a second heat exchanger to cause the decompressed refrigerant to absorb heat; a second decompressor to decompress the heated refrigerant; a third heat exchanger to evaporate the decompressed refrigerant; and a blower fan to take in air from outside a room and blow the air to the first heat exchanger. The second heat exchanger is disposed downstream of the first heat exchanger in a blowing direction of the blower fan. A humidifier is disposed between the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger in the blowing direction. The air blown from the blower fan is heated by the first heat exchanger, humidified by the humidifier, cooled by the second heat exchanger, and supplied into the room.
