Abstract: An air conditioner (AC) indoor unit includes a housing having an inlet and an outlet; a heat exchanger arranged inside the housing; a blower fan for sucking in air at the inlet to be subject to heat exchange with the heat exchanger, and discharging the heat-exchanged air out of the outlet; and an air flow control device for controlling an air flow discharged from the outlet by sucking in air around the outlet. The AC indoor unit may control the direction of a discharged air flow without a conventional blade structure, thereby increasing an amount of discharged air, reducing circulation noise, and enabling design differentiation.

Abstract: A duct type air conditioning apparatus is provided with a blowing portion including a first cabinet in which a blower assembly is installed and a heat exchanging portion including a second cabinet in which a heat exchanger is installed. The air conditioning apparatus includes a partition panel arranged between the first and second cabinets and connected to facing sides of the first and second cabinet, and first and second link members separably fastened along an upper end and a lower end of the partition panel to keep an airtight seal in a connection portion between the first and second cabinets.
