Expansion and cooling means for reducing the refrigerant pressure can be used in common by varying the refrigerant flow path during cooling / heating operation and dehumidification operation. Since the expansion valve can adjust the flow rate of the refrigerant so that the heat of condensation in the air is the same, there is an advantage in that the room temperature can be maintained at the same time during the dehumidification operation to provide comfort to the user.
