  • the present disclosure relates to an air conditioner.
  • air conditioning capacity is adjusted by operating a compressor at a rotational speed (frequency) in accordance with a temperature difference between a detected indoor temperature and a target indoor temperature (set temperature), and control is performed such that an indoor temperature approaches the set temperature.
