An outdoor unit includes a pulse width modulation compressor, an outdoor heat exchanger. First and second outdoor fans are positioned near to the outdoor heat exchanger. The operation modes of the first and second outdoor fans are determined in accordance with the amount of refrigerant discharged from the compressor and external conditions. An outdoor temperature sensor is electrically connected to the input port of the outdoor control unit, and first and second outdoor fan operating units for respectively operating first and second outdoor fans are connected to the output port of the outdoor control unit. The outdoor control unit operates the first and second fans in a preset operation mode by confirming outdoor temperature data input from the outdoor temperature sensor and the loading time of the compressor and controlling the first and second outdoor fan operating units.

1. A method of controlling at least one outdoor fan of an air conditioner having a compressor controlled in a pulse width modulation, comprising: detecting an outdoor temperature; detecting a loading time of said compressor; and operating said at least one outdoor fan in one of preset operation
1. A method of controlling at least one outdoor fan of an air conditioner having a compressor controlled in a pulse width modulation, comprising: detecting an outdoor temperature; detecting a loading time of said compressor; and operating said at least one outdoor fan in one of preset operation modes according to said detected outdoor temperature and said detected loading time of said compressor. 2. The method according to claim 1, wherein as said outdoor temperature becomes higher and said loading time of said compressor becomes longer, said selected one of said preset operation modes allowing the rotational speed of said outdoor fan to become higher. 3. The method according to claim 2, wherein the operation modes of said at least one outdoor fan include stop, low speed and high speed modes, and said at least one outdoor fan is operated in selected one of said preset operation modes after having been operated in the high speed mode for a predetermined time when said at least one outdoor fan is changed from the stop mode to another operation mode. 4. The method according to claim 3, wherein said predetermined time is two to five seconds. 5. The method according to claim 1, wherein said at least one outdoor fan comprises two outdoor fans each having stop, low speed and high speed operation modes, and said operation modes for said two outdoor fans include six of stop-stop, stop-low speed, stop-high speed, low speed-low speed, low speed-high speed and high speed-high speed operation modes. 6. A system to control at least one outdoor fan of an air conditioner, comprising: a compressor in which an amount of discharge of refrigerant is variable during its operation; an outdoor heat exchanger connected to said compressor; one or more outdoor fans positioned near said outdoor heat exchanger; an outdoor temperature sensor to sense an outdoor temperature; and a control unit to control said at least one outdoor fan to be operated in one of preset operation modes according to said sensed outdoor temperature and said amount of discharge of refrigerant of said compressor, wherein, as said outdoor temperature becomes higher and a loading time of said compressor becomes longer, said selected one of said preset operation modes allowing the rotational speed of said outdoor fan to become higher. 7. The system according to claim 6, wherein said at least one outdoor fan comprises one outdoor fan, and said preset operation modes include stop, low speed and high speed modes. 8. The system according to claim 6, wherein said at least one-outdoor fan comprises two outdoor fans each having stop, low speed and high speed operation modes, and said preset operation modes for said two outdoor fans include stop-stop stop-low speed, stop-high speed, low speed-low speed, low speed-high speed and high speed-high speed operation modes. 9. The system according to claim 6, wherein said compressor and said outdoor heat exchanger constitute an outdoor unit, and said air conditioner further comprises at least one indoor unit having an electronic expansion valve and an indoor heat exchanger. 10. A system to control at least one outdoor fan of an air conditioner, comprising: a compressor in which an amount of discharge of refrigerant is variable during its operation; an outdoor heat exchanger connected to said compressor; one or more outdoor fans positioned near said outdoor heat exchanger; an outdoor temperature sensor to sense an outdoor temperature; and a control unit to control said at least one outdoor fan to be operated in one of preset operation modes according to said sensed outdoor temperature and said amount of discharge of refrigerant of said compressor, wherein, said compressor is controlled in a pulse width modulation manner and the amount of discharge of refrigerant of said compressor is determined by a loading time of said compressor.
