Abstract

The present invention is characterized by selecting, during heating, the hot air blowing mode in which a compressor and a blower for an indoor heat exchanger are each controlled as to r.p.m. to control the temperature of outlet air blown from an air conditioner at a higher temperature, and the normal mode in which the room temperature is controlled. Also, as required, an air passage of the outlet is set to be narrow to blow hot air in a confined space, or the air passage of the outlet is set wide to disperse warm air during normal operation.
