Abstract: An air conditioner system (1) runs in a concentration keeping mode to sequentially repeat a first operation of lowering a target temperature to a first target temperature lower than a predetermined reference temperature and a second operation of raising the target temperature to a second target temperature higher than the reference temperature. The target temperature is gradually raised from the first target temperature to the second target temperature in the second operation. Lowering the target temperature to the first target temperature in the first operation takes shorter time than raising the target temperature to the second target temperature in the second operation.
