Zusammenfassung:A control method includes determining whether to perform a defrosting operation of an evaporator, closing a valve to prevent refrigerant from moving into the evaporator if implementation of the defrosting operation is determined, performing a refrigerant collecting operation, and opening the valve upon completion of the defrosting operation. Intercepting a flow path of the refrigerant to prevent the refrigerant from moving into the evaporator during defrosting prevents explosion due to leakage of the refrigerant.
