Abstract: An air conditioner includes an outdoor unit, a plurality of mode change devices including at least one mode changer including a branch duct and a changing valve, and configured to receive a control signal from the outdoor unit to control an operation of the at least one mode changer. A plurality of indoor units are connected to the outdoor unit or the plurality of mode change devices. The outdoor unit may determine an operation mode to operate the plurality of mode change devices a plurality of times. Each of the plurality of indoor units may detect a temperature change of an indoor heat exchanger in response to the operation of the mode change devices, to determine the number of connected mode changers and a connectable mode changer candidate group based on the temperature change of the indoor heat exchanger.

Abstract: An air conditioner includes a heat exchanger including a refrigerant tube, a fin assembly, and a fan assembly located at an upper portion of the heat exchanger. The heat exchanger includes a first heat exchanger adjacent to the fan assembly and a second heat exchanger under the first heat exchanger. A density of a fin assembly at the first heat exchanger is larger than that of a fin assembly at the second heat exchanger. The heat exchanger may include a plurality of layers with a refrigerant introduced into each of inlet pipes of the heat exchanger flowing evenly at each of the layers. The refrigerant to be discharged to each of outlet pipes is discharged at the same temperature.
