Abstract
An air conditioner is provided. The air conditioner includes a housing with separate channels, a heat exchanger, two fans, a driver, and a controller. The heat exchanger exchanges heat with air in one channel, while the two fans expel air from separate channels. The driver operates the fans, and the controller regulates their operation based on indoor and outdoor temperatures, selectively activating a second fan of the two fans according to preset temperature conditions.
