Abstract

Object of the present invention is to improve a structure of the air conditioner, to provide an air conditioner which can dispose of condensed water from an evaporator within the air conditioner itself without discharging to outside of the air conditioner, and improve an air conditioner efficiency.To achieve the object of the present invention, the air conditioner of the present invention includes a condenser which generates a high temperature heat, an evaporator which absorbs an external heat, and forms condensed water on a surface thereof by a temperature difference with an external air, and condensed water self disposal means for transferring the condensed water on the surface of the condenser to a condenser side, and evaporating the condensed water from the surface of the condenser by the high temperature heat from the condenser, thereby disposing of the condensed water within the air conditioner itself.
