Abstract:
An air-conditioning apparatus includes an air-to-air heat exchanger that transfers at least sensible heat between outdoor air and indoor air, an air-to-refrigerant heat exchanger provided in an air supply passage to transfer heat between the outdoor air and refrigerant, and a humidifier provided in part of the air supply passage that is located downstream of the air-to-refrigerant heat exchange. The humidifier humidifies the outdoor air. A communication passage causes part of the air exhaust passage that is located upstream of the air-to-air heat exchanger and part of the air supply passage that is located downstream of the air-to-air heat exchanger to communicate with each other. An opening/closing damper opens and closes the communication passage. A controller controls a refrigerant temperature in the air-to-refrigerant heat exchanger based on an indoor temperature, and controls operation of the opening/closing damper based on an indoor humidity.
