Abstract
In an air conditioner, a control section controls at least the indoor expansion valve. The indoor expansion valve has a degree of opening that is controllable. The control section has a condensate formation suppressing control mode and a normal heating control mode. The condensate formation suppressing control mode is performed in a case where a predetermined condensate formation condition is satisfied. The predetermined condensate formation condition relates to generation of condensate formation on the connecting section. The normal heating control mode is performed in cases other than the case where the predetermined condensate formation condition is satisfied. The control section increases the opening degree of the indoor expansion valve when the condensate formation suppressing control mode is performed compared to a case when the normal heating control mode is performed.
