Abstract
A refrigeration cycle includes at least a variable-capacity compressor, an outdoor heat exchanger, an evacuation device, and an indoor heat exchanger, all of which communicate with each other. A reheater is arranged in association with the indoor heat exchanger. A temperature setting unit sets a desired indoor temperature. A humidity setting unit sets a desired indoor humidity. A temperature detecting unit detects an indoor temperature. A humidity detecting unit detects an indoor humidity. A controller outputs first control data for controlling capacity of the variable-capacity compressor by comparing temperature data preset by the indoor temperature setting unit with temperature data detected by the temperature detecting unit so as to set a difference between both temperature data to be zero, and at the same time outputs second control data for controlling a heating power of the reheater by comparing humidity data preset by the humidity setting unit with humidity data detected by the humidity detecting unit so as to set a difference between both humidity data to be zero. The first and second control data are generated at substantially the same time, thereby quickly and smoothly providing the desired indoor temperature and humidity.
