Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable a user to freely select it as required whether a capability of an air conditioner is in a preference or a silent sound of the air conditioner is in a preference by a method wherein a set temperature shift switch is cooperated with a compressor frequency limiting switch for an occasion in which the silent operation is required and then a control device for varying a set temperature shift amount or a compressor frequency limiting value is provided. CONSTITUTION:When a user needs a silent sound operation, a compressor operation frequency limiting switch 9 is depressed, resulting in that the compressor operating frequency is not increased by more than a specified value set in advance by a micro- computer 4 or a circuit and then a silent sound operation can be carried out. The number of revolution of an air blower 11 is varied to a predetermined low value set by a micro-computer or a circuit in cooperation with this switching operation or in cooperation with the compressor operating frequency, resulting in that the air blower can perform a silent sound operation. When the operating frequency of the compressor 7 is limited, if a room temperature is balanced before it reaches its set temperature, i.e. its temperature increasing or temperature decreasing within a certain specified time is reduced or decreased by a value less than a specified amount, this is detected by a temperature sensor 1 and the micro-computer and then it outputs an instruction to increase the frequency limited value.
