Abstract
An air conditioner including a compressor compressing a refrigerant to produce a high temperature gaseous refrigerant, a hot water producing device producing hot water by performing a heat exchanging process whereby heat is transferred from the high temperature refrigerant fed from the compressor to water, an outdoor heat exchanger performing a heat exchanging process whereby heat is transferred between the refrigerant and outside air, and a hot/cold water producing device producing hot water by performing a heat exchanging process whereby heat is transferred from the refrigerant fed from the hot water producing device to water, or producing cold water by performing a heat exchanging process whereby heat is transferred from water to the refrigerant fed from the outdoor heat exchanger.
