An air conditioner of the present invention includes: a compressor; an outdoor fan; a temperature sensor configured to detect an outside temperature; a memory configured to store the outside temperature detected by the temperature sensor; and a controller configured to conduct holding control of not updating the outside temperature stored in the memory, when the compressor is being driven and the outdoor fan is stopped or is repeatedly started and stopped after the outside temperature detected by the temperature sensor is stored in the memory while the outdoor fan is being driven.

Air conditioner with outdoor temperature sensing correlated to outdoor fan control

There is provided a compressor and an air conditioner capable of preventing a piston from being locked to a cylinder by iced matters. A compressor operation control sectionof a control unitstops the pistonin a high-temperature region HR of comparatively high temperatures where frost or ice of an inner circumferential surface of the cylinderis less easily generated. As a result, generation of iced matters between the high-temperature region HR of the inner circumferential surface of the cylinderand the pistonis prevented, so that a lock of the pistondue to iced matters can be prevented.
