1. An air conditioning apparatus, comprising:
an air vacuum unit that sucks in air from a prescribed space to place the prescribed space under negative pressure;
a first reservoir that contains compressed air obtained by pressurizing the air from the air vacuum unit;
a first adjustment unit that adjusts a flow rate of the compressed air supplied to and discharged from the first reservoir;
a second reservoir that contains the compressed air from the air vacuum unit while a flow of the compressed air from the air vacuum unit to the first reservoir is restricted;
a second adjustment unit that adjusts a flow rate of the compressed air supplied to and discharged from the second reservoir; and
a heating and cooling device that manages a temperature of at least one of the first reservoir and the second reservoir upon determining that a flow of the compressed air from the air vacuum unit to the at least one of the first reservoir and the second reservoir is restricted, wherein,
the first adjustment unit determines whether the compressed air is contained in a first prescribed amount in the first reservoir, and upon determining that the compressed air is contained in the first prescribed amount in the first reservoir, restricts the flow of the compressed air from the air vacuum unit to the first reservoir,
the second adjustment unit determines whether the compressed air is contained in a second prescribed amount in the second reservoir, and upon determining that the compressed air is contained in the second prescribed amount in the second reservoir, restricts a flow of the compressed air from the air vacuum unit to the second reservoir, and
the first reservoir contains the compressed air discharged by the air vacuum unit while the flow of the compressed air from the air vacuum unit to the second reservoir is restricted.
