Abstract: A drain water bacteriostatic structure for an air conditioner is provided with a drain pan 8 for holding drain water generated in an air conditioner 1 and an upright antibacterial member 50 which is provided in the drain pan 8. The antibacterial member 50 is provided with an antibacterial agent 50B. The length L3 of the antibacterial member 50 in the up-down direction is set such that the lower end portion 50a of the antibacterial member 50 is immersed in drain water when the drain water is at the minimum water level L1 in the drain pan 8, and the upper end portion 50b of the antibacterial member 50 is exposed above the maximum water level L2 of drain water in the drain pan 8 by a predetermined length H or more.

Abstract: A refrigerant flow divider is made up of an inlet pipe 12 through which refrigerant Xin flows in, a main body 11 of which the inside is a cavity, and a plurality of branching pipes 13 through which refrigerant Xout flows out. When the length of the above described main body 11 of the flow divider is L mm and the inner diameter of the above described main body 11 of the flow divider is D2 mm, the relationship 2?L/D2?8 holds, and thus, a flow divider can be gained, where discrepancy (variation) in the flow rate ratio in the respective paths for the flow discharged from the outlet of the flow divider and entering the heat exchanger is small and pressure loss is small when there is a change of approximately ±10° in the installation angle, a change in the dryness of the refrigerant at the inlet (0.2 to 0.4) or a change in the flow rate of the refrigerant (50% to 100%).

Abstract: Disclosed is a drain water discharge structure for an air conditioning apparatus in which at least any one of an internal drain pipe (12) and an external drain pipe (14) is formed from an antibacterial metal pipe, thereby to inhibit the generation of slime in the external drain pipe (14) and to make the external drain pipe (14) less apt to deterioration.

Abstract: In the vicinity of a suction port of a drain pump in a drain pan of an air conditioner, an antibacterial agent unit having an antibacterial agent capable of being brought into contact with drain water is disposed so that the antibacterial agent unit disposed in the vicinity of the suction port of the drain pump at the lowest portion in the drain pan is reliably immersed into the drain water when the drain pump is operating and not operating.

Abstract: The present invention is an air conditioner that is built into or hung from a ceiling and which employs a cross fin type of heat exchanger, in which the effective length of the heat exchanger is increased without increasing the size of the casing of the indoor unit. An indoor unit has a casing that supports the components of the indoor unit and in which an air suction port and air discharge ports are formed, a centrifugal fan disposed inside the casing for taking in air from the air suction port and discharging air out to the sides thereof, and a cross fin type of heat exchanger for exchanging heat with the air discharged from the centrifugal fan and disposed so that it surrounds the centrifugal fan. The heat exchanger has a plurality of concave portions that are formed such that they are near the outer circumferential portion of the centrifugal fan, and a plurality of convex portions that are formed such that the extend away from the outer circumferential portion of the centrifugal fan.
