Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Provided is an air conditioner including: a heater control section ( 54 ) for carrying out duty control on a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) heater ( 55 ); and a current detecting section ( 53 ) for detecting a current value of the PTC heater ( 55 ). The PTC heater ( 55 ) starts to be driven at a predetermined duty ratio. When the current value detected by the current detecting section ( 53 ) takes a peak (P), a duty ratio increasing process of increasing the duty ratio of the PTC heater ( 55 ) by a predetermined amount is repeated until the duty ratio reaches to 100%.
