Abstract: An example air conditioner may include a compressor configured to compress a refrigerant; an indoor heat exchanger configured to perform heat exchange between the refrigerant and indoor air; a temperature sensor configured to measure an indoor temperature and an indoor heat exchanger temperature; an input device configured to receive a target temperature and target humidity from a user; and at least one processor configured to determine an adjustment value of an operating frequency of the compressor based on a temperature difference between the target temperature and the indoor temperature, and change the determined adjustment value of the operating frequency based on the target humidity and the indoor heat exchanger temperature.

Abstract: An air conditioner may include: a compressor; a flow path switching valve; a first flow path connecting an outlet of the compressor to the flow path switching valve; a first heat exchanger; a second flow path connecting the first heat exchanger to the flow path switching valve; a first refrigerant port fluidly connected to an indoor unit; a third flow path extending from the first heat exchanger to the first refrigerant port; a sub-cooler provided on the third flow path; a first expansion valve provided between the first heat exchanger and the sub-cooler on the third flow path; a second expansion valve provided between the sub-cooler and the first refrigerant port on the third flow path; a fourth flow path branched from a branch point of the third flow path, passing through the sub-cooler, and extending to an inlet of the compressor; a third expansion valve provided between the sub-cooler and the branch point on the fourth flow path; a second refrigerant port fluidly connected to the indoor unit; a fifth flow path connecting the second refrigerant port to the flow path switching valve; and a sixth flow path connecting the flow path switching valve to an intake port of the compressor.

Abstract: Provided are an air conditioner for performing a cooling operation according to a cooling capacity selected by a user, and a method of controlling the air conditioner. The air conditioner includes: a compressor, at least one memory storing one or more instructions, and at least one processor, comprising processing circuitry, individually and/or collectively, configured to execute the one or more instructions stored in the memory and to: receive an input for selecting one of a plurality of cooling capacities of the air conditioner, as a maximum cooling capacity capable of being output by the air conditioner, obtain a frequency corresponding to the maximum cooling capacity, of the compressor, in response to a determination to output the cooling capacity of the air conditioner as the maximum cooling capacity, based on a desired temperature set in the air conditioner and an indoor temperature, and, based on the obtained frequency, control the compressor.
