Abstract (en)

There is provided an airflow control method and airflow controller for an air conditioner indoor unit capable of executing air conditioning so that indoor temperature distribution becomes uniform without any sense of airflow during heating operation. There are provided a turbofan 3 that has an axis extending in an anteroposterior direction and blows air taken in from a front surface side radially outwardly with respect to an axis inside a casing and a heat exchanger 5 disposed on the front surface side of the turbofan 3 inside the casing. The casing is provided with outlet ports for blowing air from the turbofan 3 in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction. During the heating operation, a control signal is outputted by a flap control section 10a to an upper flap stepping motor 41 and a left-hand flap stepping motor 44 so as to narrow the openings of the upper, right-hand and left-hand flaps and make the opening of the lower flap wider than the openings of the upper, right-hand and left-hand flaps. <IMAGE>
