Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0985890A1] A casing (10) is composed of a main body section (11) having a flattened, approximately rectangular parallelepipedic shape and a protuberant section (13) extending continuously from a bottom portion of the main body section (11). A front face of the protuberant section (13) is formed into an inclined face (14) which inclines downwardly in a front to back direction of the casing (10). An air intake opening (41) is formed in the inclined face (41) of the protuberant section (13). An air forward-exhaust opening (43) is formed in a front face of the main body section (11). An air lateral-exhaust opening (44) is formed in each of lateral faces of the main body section (10). Within the casing (10), a centrifugal fan for drawing room air from below and for emitting it in lateral direction and a heat exchanger for generating conditioned air are disposed in an air passage providing communication from the air intake opening (41) to each of the air exhaust openings (43, 44). <IMAGE>
