  • Fig. 2 is a perspective view illustrating the indoor unit shown in Fig. 1 .
  • the left side in Fig. 1 is defined as the front side of the indoor unit 100. Referring now to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 , a configuration of the indoor unit 100 will be described.
  • the indoor unit 100 supplies air-conditioned air to an area to be air-conditioned such as an indoor space by utilizing a refrigerating cycle circulating a refrigerant.
  • the indoor unit 100 mainly includes a casing 1 formed with suction ports 2 for taking in indoor air and a blow-out port 3 for supplying air-conditioned air to the area to be air-conditioned, fans 20 housed in the casing 1 and configured to take in the indoor air from the suction ports 2 and blow out the air-conditioned air from the blow-out port 3, and heat exchangers 50 disposed in air paths from the fans 20 to the blow-out port 3 and configured to generate the air-conditioned air by heat exchange between the refrigerant and the indoor air.
  • each of the air paths (an arrow Z in Fig.
  • the suction ports 2 are formed so as to open at an upper portion of the casing 1.
  • the blow-out port 3 is formed so as to open at a lower portion of the casing 1 (more specifically, on the lower side of a front surface portion of the casing 1).
  • the fans 20 are each disposed on the downstream side of the suction ports 2 and the upstream side of the heat exchangers 50, and, for example, axial-flow fans or mixed-flow fans are employed.
  • the fans 20 are provided on the upstream side of the heat exchangers 50 in the indoor unit 100 as configured above, generation of a swirl flow of air blown out from the blow-out port 3 and occurrence of variation in wind velocity distribution can be restrained in comparison with the indoor unit of the conventional air-conditioning apparatus having the fan 20 at the blow-out port 3. Therefore, blowing of comfortable air to the area to be air-conditioned is achieved. Since no complex structure such as a fan is provided at the blow-out port 3, measures against dew condensation formed at a boundary between warm air and cool air at the time of a cooling operation can easily be implemented. In addition, since a fan motor 30 is not exposed to air-conditioned air, namely, cool air or warm air, a long operational life can be provided.
  • the indoor unit of the air-conditioning apparatus has limitations in terms of installation space, so the fan cannot be increased in size in many cases. Therefore, in order to obtain a desired air volume, a plurality of fans of moderate sizes are arranged in parallel.
  • three fans 20 are arranged in parallel along the longitudinal direction of the casing 1 (that is, along the longitudinal direction of the blow-out port 3) as shown in Fig. 2 .
  • three to four fans 20 are preferably provided.

  • the bell mouth 5 according to Embodiment 1 has a substantially circular shape in plan view. In the vertical cross section, the bell mouth 5 according to Embodiment 1 has the following shape.
  • An end portion of an upper portion 5a has a substantially circular arc shape extending outward and upward.
  • a center portion 5b is a straight portion of the bell mouth 5, having a constant diameter.
  • An end portion of a lower portion 5c has a substantially circular arc shape extending outward and downward.
  • An end portion (a circular arc portion on the suction side) of the upper portion 5a of the bell mouth 5 forms the suction port 2.
  • the bell mouth 5 may be formed integrally with, for example, the casing 1 in order to reduce the number of components and improve the strength. It is also possible, for example, to improve maintainability by modularizing the bell mouth 5, the fan 20, and the fan motor 30 so as to be detachably attachable to the casing 1.
  • the end portion (the circular arc portion on the suction side) of the upper portion 5a of the bell mouth 5 is formed so as to have a uniform shape in terms of the circumferential direction of an opening surface of the bell mouth 5.
  • the bell mouth 5 does not have structures such as a notch or a rib in the direction of rotation about an axis of rotation 20a of the fan 20, and has a uniform shape in terms of axial symmetry.
  • the end portion (the circular arc portion on the suction side) of the upper portion 5a of the bell mouth 5 has a uniform shape with respect to the rotation of the fan 20, and hence a uniform flow of the suction flow of the fan 20 is also realized. Therefore, the noise generated by a drift of the suction flow of the fan 20 can be decreased.

  • the heat exchanger 50 is arranged so as to form a substantially A-shape in a vertical cross section from the front side to the back side of the indoor unit 100 (that is, the vertical cross section when viewing the indoor unit 100 from the right side, referred to as "right vertical cross-section", hereinafter). Therefore, an end portion of each of the partitioning panels 90 on the side of the heat exchanger 50 also has a substantially A-shape.
  • the position of an end portion of each of the partitioning panels 90 on the side of the fan 20 may be determined as follows, for example. When the adjacent fans 20 are positioned sufficiently away from each other to avoid influencing each other on the suction side, the end portion of each of the partitioning panels 90 on the side of the fan 20 may need only be extend to an exit surface of the fan 20.
  • the end portion of each of the partitioning panels 90 on the side of the fan 20 may extend up to the upstream side of the fan 20 (the suction side) so that the adjacent air paths do not influence each other (the adjacent fans 20 do not influence each other on the suction side) .

  • the air path between the heat exchangers 50 and the fans 20 is divided into a plurality of air paths (three in Embodiment 1). It is also possible to reduce the noise generated in the ducts by providing sound-absorbing materials in these air paths, that is, on the partitioning panels 90 or in the casing 1.
  • the divided air paths are each formed into a substantially square shape of L1 ⁇ L2.
  • the widths of the divided air paths are L1 and L2. Therefore, the air volume generated by the fan 20 installed in the interior of the substantially square shape of L1 ⁇ L2, for example, reliably passes through the heat exchanger 50 surrounded by an area defined by L1 and L2 on the downstream side of the fan 20.
  • each of the partitioning panels 90 does not necessarily have to be formed of a single plate, and may be made up of a plurality of plates.
  • the partitioning panel 90 may be divided into two parts on the side of a front side heat exchanger 51 and on the side of a back side heat exchanger 55. Needless to say, it is preferable that no gap be formed at a joint portion between the respective plates which constitute the partitioning panel 90.

Because of this difference in air volume, when air currents having passed through the front side heat exchanger 51 and the back side heat exchanger 55 merge, the merged air current is curved toward the front side (the side of the blow-out port 3). Therefore, necessity to curve the airflow steeply in the vicinity of the blow-out port 3 is eliminated, and hence the pressure loss in the vicinity of the blow-out port 3 can be reduced.
