Patent number: 11029060Abstract: An air-conditioning apparatus includes a heat-exchange unit. The heat-exchange unit has a pair of heat exchangers, and a partition plate disposed in such a state that a first region located on the inside of a space between the pair of heat exchangers and a second region located on the outside of the space are formed. The heat-exchange unit is disposed in such an orientation that one of the pair of heat exchangers is provided adjacent to and above the other heat exchanger and that the second region of the partition plate is located on the downstream side of the first region. The second region of the partition plate is provided with an inlet of a drain path.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2014Date of Patent: June 8, 2021Assignee: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Yukihiko Kawanori, Keiichi Yamamoto, Hiroshi Tsutsumi, Ayaka Ueyama

Patent number: 8499580Abstract: A centrifugal fan mounted in an air conditioner has the following relationship: outer diameter of a side plate of the centrifugal fan>outer diameter of the blade rear-edge part on side-plate side>diameter of the blade rear-edge part on main plate side>outer diameter of the main plate. In the centrifugal fan, the blade rear-edge part is positioned inside from a straight line connecting the connection point between the blade rear-edge part and the main plate, to the connection point between the blade rear-edge part and the side plate, as viewed from the rotation axis. The blade rear-edge part has a shape such that the distance from the rotation axis becomes larger from the main plate toward the side plate.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2012Date of Patent: August 6, 2013Assignee: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Takashi Ikeda, Naho Takehara, Hiroshi Tsutsumi, Takahiro Yamatani, Kazunobu Nishimiya, Yukihiko Kawanori
