Abstract: An air conditioner and a method for controlling same are disclosed. An air conditioner according to the disclosure comprises: an indoor unit including an indoor heat exchanger and an indoor fan; an outdoor unit including a compressor; at least one sensor; at least one memory storing instructions; and at least one processor to execute the instructions to identify a freezing process to form ice-capsules on a surface of the indoor heat exchange according to a first relative humidity sensed through the at least one sensor, control the indoor fan and the compressor to operate in the identified freezing process so that the ice-capsules are formed, identify a thawing process to thaw the formed ice-capsules according to a second relative humidity sensed through the at least one sensor while the indoor fan and the compressor are operating in the identified freezing process, and control the indoor fan to operate in the identified thawing process.

Abstract: An air conditioner is provided. The air conditioner includes a compressor configured to compress a refrigerant, an indoor heat exchanger in which heat exchange between indoor air and the refrigerant is performed, a discharge temperature sensor configured to measure a discharge temperature of air at which the heat exchange has been completed, an intake temperature sensor configured to measure an intake temperature of the indoor air drawn into the indoor heat exchanger, an inputter configured to receive a target temperature from a user, memory storing one or more computer programs, and one or more processors communicatively coupled the compressor, the indoor heat exchanger, the discharge temperature sensor, the intake temperature sensor, the inputter, and the memory, wherein the one or more computer programs include computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors individually or collectively, cause the air conditioner to adjust an operating frequency of the compressor by comparing the intake temperature and the target temperature, and control the compressor to reduce the operating frequency in response to the discharge temperature reaching a reference temperature.
