  • Publication number: 20170299201
    Abstract: The indoor unit of the air conditioner includes a centrifugal blower configured to discharge air sucked from an indoor-unit suction port to the periphery, a heat exchanger provided on a discharge side of the centrifugal blower, a blowout port provided on a downstream side of the heat exchanger, and a drain pan provided under the heat exchanger and configured to receive moisture condensation water. The lower end of a discharge port of the centrifugal blower is provided in a position higher than an upper end of a wall surface section of the drain pan located on the upstream side with respect to the heat exchanger. The upper end of the wall surface section located on the upstream side with respect to the heat exchanger is formed lower than an upper end of a wall surface section located on the downstream side with respect to the heat exchanger.

  • Publication number: 20160003487
    Abstract: In order to suppress that a velocity in the vicinity of a bell mouth is lowered to induce non-uniformity in velocity at an outlet of a blade and an outlet of the bell mouth caused by adoption of a forward-swept blade which makes a tip vortex small as means for noise reduction, in a blade of a propeller fan, a trailing edge portion which has been rotationally projected on a plane passing through a rotational axis is formed from the rotational axis toward a blade tip portion so as to bend from the suction side to the discharge side with a first curvature, and is further formed so as to bend with a second curvature which is smaller than the aforementioned first curvature with an inflection point interposed.
