Abstract: An air-conditioning device includes: a suction air temperature sensor provided in an indoor unit; a wireless temperature sensor unit separate from the indoor unit; an abnormal condition determining section determining whether or not the wireless temperature sensor unit is in an abnormal condition; an index setting section setting a temperature index value; and a controller controlling operation of the air-conditioning device based on the set temperature index value. While the abnormal condition determining section determines that the wireless temperature sensor unit is in the abnormal condition, the index setting section determines a measurement value of the suction air temperature sensor to be the temperature index value.

Abstract: An indoor unit of an air conditioning apparatus is fixed with respect to a ceiling, and includes an indoor unit casing having an air inlet and plural air outlets, plural airflow direction adjusting plates disposed in the air outlets, and an airflow direction adjusting control unit to independently adjust rotational states of the adjusting plates in order to adjust the airflow direction of conditioned air blown out from the air outlets. The control unit causes an entire body of at least one of the adjusting plates to be positioned inside a corresponding one of the air outlets in an air volume reducing state to reduce volume through the air outlet or a suppressing state to suppress flow from the air outlet toward an opposite side relative to an air inlet side.

Abstract: A grille is provided at a lower end portion of an air inlet, and covers a central portion of the air inlet to form an inlet opening between an outer peripheral edge of the grille and an opening edge of the air inlet in plan view. A plate member extends along an inner surface of the air inlet, and provided inside the air inlet such that an upper edge of the plate member is located more inward than a lower edge of the plate member. The upper edge of the plate member is located above the lower end of the air inlet. The lower edge of the plate member surrounds an outer periphery of the grille in plan view.

Abstract: The present invention is characterized in that: a flow diverter provided in an air conditioner has a flow diverter main body having an internal space, and a first connection portion to which a pipe is connected; the first connection portion has an inner peripheral surface that defines a hole through which the pipe is inserted; the inner peripheral surface has, in the direction of a central axis, a brazing portion which is provided at a location containing an end on the side where the pipe is inserted, and forms a gap filled with solder for brazing between the inner peripheral surface and an outer peripheral surface of the pipe, and a restricting portion located closer to the flow diverter main body than to the brazing portion; and the inner diameter of the restricting portion is smaller than the inner diameter of the brazing portion.
