Abstract: The present disclosure provides an indoor unit of an air conditioner includes a housing, a centrifugal fan arranged inside the housing, and a heat exchanger arranged so as to surround the centrifugal fan, in which the heat exchanger includes an area cut in a direction of rotation of the centrifugal fan. A current plate provided at a final portion of the heat exchanger in the direction of the rotation of the centrifugal fan includes a first face which is extended in a height direction of the heat exchanger and blocks an air flow produced between the centrifugal fan and the heat exchanger and a second face protruded from the first face in a direction opposite the air flow. The indoor unit has an advantageous effect to suppress an inflow of air to a space where the heat exchanger is cut in the indoor unit to reduce the power consumption.
