Abstract
Provided are an air conditioner capable of indoor cooling and humidity control with a simple structure. The air conditioner comprises: a first air flow channel; a second air flow channel; a dehumidifying rotor which comprises a first region provided on the first air flow channel, a second region provided on the second air flow channel, and an adsorbent which alternately passes through the first region and the second region and adsorbs moisture in the first region or the second region; a cooling unit configured to cool air from which moisture is removed while passing through the first region; and a control unit configured to control the dehumidifying rotor and the cooling unit such that air flowing in the first air flow path is dehumidified and cooled and a temperature or humidity of the indoor area is detected to be adjusted to a set value.
