AIR CONDITIONER AND MANAGEMENT DEVICE

The invention aims to restrict not only an upper limit value but also a lower limit value of the power consumption of an air conditioner. An air conditioner comprises a compressor, an outdoor heat exchanger, an expansion mechanism, an indoor heat exchanger, and an operation control unit for controlling the operation frequency of the compressor so that the power consumption of the air conditioner or the compressor reaches a value higher than a lower limit setting value. 本发明的目的在于不仅限制空调机的消耗电力的上限值，还限制下限值。一种空调机，具备：压缩机；室外换热器；膨胀机构；室内换热器；以及运转控制部，其以使空调机或压缩机的消耗电力成为比下限设定值高的值的方式控制压缩机的运转频率。
