Air conditioner and method of controlling the same
First Claim
1. A method of controlling an air conditioner, comprising:
- inputting, by an operation command input part, an operation command for the air conditioner through which a refrigerating cycle circulates;
sensing, by an outside temperature sensor, an outside temperature;
sensing, by an outside humidity recognition part, an outside humidity;
sensing, by a low pressure sensor, a low pressure of the refrigerating cycle;
recognizing, by a main controller, information about the outside temperature, the outside humidity, and the low pressure of the refrigeration cycle;
entering, by the main controller, a changing mode in which a first target high pressure of the refrigerating cycle is changed when it is recognized that the low pressure of the refrigerating cycle is less than a first reference low pressure; and
changing, as part of the changing mode of the main controller, an operation frequency of a compressor of the air conditioner in response to a range of the low pressure of the refrigerating cycle.

Abstract
A method of controlling an air conditioner, including inputting, by an operation command input part, an operation command for the air conditioner through which a refrigerating cycle circulates; sensing, by an outside temperature sensor, an outside temperature; sensing, by an outside humidity recognition part, an outside humidity; sensing, by a low pressure sensor, a low pressure of the refrigerating cycle; recognizing, by a controller, information about the outside temperature, the outside humidity, and the low pressure; entering, by the controller, a changing mode in which a first target high pressure of the refrigerating cycle is changed when the low pressure is less than a first reference low pressure; and changing, by the controller, an operation frequency of a compressor of the air conditioner in response to a range of the low pressure when the changing mode is performed.
