An air conditioner with an air purifying function includes a housing having an air inlet and an air outlet thereon. An air conditioning assembly and an air purifying assembly are disposed in the housing. The air conditioning assembly includes an air conditioning flue. A first fan and a heat exchanger are disposed in the air conditioning flue. The air conditioning flue connects with the air inlet and the air outlet respectively. The air purifying assembly includes an air purifying flue. A second fan and an air filter screen are disposed in the air purifying flue. The air purifying flue connects with the air inlet and the air outlet respectively.

An air conditioner switches between a normal refrigeration cycle and a defrosting refrigeration cycle, and includes: a refrigerant circuit that connects a first heat exchanger, a second heat exchanger, a radiation panel, and an expansion valve that regulates a flow rate of a refrigerant flowing through the radiation panel; and a controller that causes the air conditioner to switch between the normal refrigeration cycle and the defrosting cycle. During the normal refrigeration cycle, the radiation panel performs cooling or heating. During the defrosting cycle, the first heat exchanger serves as a radiator and the second heat exchanger serves as an evaporator. During the defrosting cycle, the controller causes the expansion valve to be in a fully closed state.
