Abstract

Provided is a highly reliable air conditioner that produces a sanitary state in an indoor heat exchanger. An air conditioner (100) is equipped with a refrigerant circuit (Q), and is equipped with a bypass pipe (W) for guiding a portion of the refrigerant condensed in an outdoor heat exchanger (2) to the suction side of a compressor (1), a bypass expansion valve (7) provided in the bypass pipe (W), and a control unit. When an indoor heat exchanger (10) is in the process of freezing or condensing, the control unit controls an indoor expansion valve (12) on the basis of the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger (10), and controls the bypass expansion valve (7) on the basis of the discharge temperature of the compressor (1).
