The air conditioner performs a refrigeration cycle of the air conditioner by using a compressor, a condenser, an expansion valve, and an evaporator. The refrigeration cycle includes a series of processes involving compression, condensation, expansion, and evaporation, and supplies refrigerant to the air that has been conditioned and heat-exchanged.

The compressor compresses a refrigerant gas in a high-temperature and high-pressure state and discharges the compressed refrigerant gas. The discharged refrigerant gas flows into the condenser. The condenser condenses the compressed refrigerant into a liquid phase, and heat is released to the surrounding environment through the condensation process.

The expansion valve expands the liquid-phase refrigerant in a high-temperature and high-pressure state condensed in the condenser into a low-pressure liquid-phase refrigerant. The evaporator evaporates the refrigerant expanded in the expansion valve and returns the refrigerant gas in a low-temperature and low-pressure state to the compressor. The evaporator can achieve a cooling effect by heat-exchanging with a material to be cooled using latent heat of evaporation of a refrigerant. The air conditioner can adjust the temperature of the indoor space throughout the cycle.

The outdoor unit of the air conditioner refers to a portion of a refrigeration cycle including a compressor and an outdoor heat exchanger, the indoor unit of the air conditioner includes an indoor heat exchanger, and an expansion valve may be provided in the indoor unit or the outdoor unit.

The indoor heat exchanger and the outdoor heat exchanger serve as a condenser or an evaporator. When the indoor heat exchanger is used as a condenser, the air conditioner is used as a heater in a heating mode, and when the indoor heat exchanger is used as an evaporator, the air conditioner is used as a cooler in a cooling mode.

The first air outlet 12 and the second air outlet 13 on the left side of the machine shell 1 are opposite to the heat exchanger and the fan on the left side, and the first air outlet 12 and the second air outlet 13 on the right side of the machine shell 1 are opposite to the heat exchanger and the fan on the right side.

Since the two heat exchangers operate independently of each other and the two fans operate independently of each other, when the air conditioner indoor unit 100 operates and a user is located on either the left side or the right side of the air conditioner indoor unit 100, only either one of the two heat exchangers may operate, the fan opposite to the operating heat exchanger operates, and the air outlet opposite to the operating heat exchanger is opened. Wherein, the heat exchanger of work can be the heat exchanger that the user belongs to the region and correspond, for example, when the user is located the left side of air conditioner 100, the left side heat exchanger work of air conditioner 100 to can the temperature of quick adjustment user place region, and can reduce air conditioner 100's energy consumption. Of course, the working heat exchanger may also be a heat exchanger on the opposite side of the area where the user is located, for example, when the user is located on the left side of the air conditioner indoor unit 100, the heat exchanger on the right side of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 works, so that the air flow can be prevented from directly blowing the user. When the user dispersion was in indoor each position department, can two heat exchangers simultaneous workings, two fans simultaneous workings this moment, two air outlets are all opened. Therefore, the air outlet mode of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 can be increased, and the user experience is further improved. It can be understood that the specific working conditions of the two heat exchangers can be specifically set according to the actual requirements of users, so as to better meet the practical application.
