Abstract
A room air conditioner is equipped with an input switch mechanism for indicating room condition. The switch mechanism includes a first switch which a user presses when he feels hot and a second switch which the user presses when he feels cold. A microcomputer controls the operation of the air conditioner in response to signals from the input switch mechanism. When the user presses the first or second switch, the microcomputer automatically changes the set temperature and the temperature of air which is circulated in the room being air conditioned to correct the hot or cold room condition felt by the user to relieve the user's sense of discomfort. The circulated air temperature can be changed by changing the rotational speed of indoor blowers or the compressor, by changing the degree of opening of an electronic expansion valve disposed to provide heat exchange, or by changing the orientation of adjustable louvers such that the air circulates directly from an air outlet to an intake port of the air conditioner.
