Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2090839A1] Provided is an air conditioner capable of securing the necessary static pressure even when the arrangement of air inlets is such that the suction resistance tends to increase. The air conditioner includes an indoor heat exchanger (4), a bellmouth (13) disposed behind the indoor heat exchanger (4) such that its opening (14) through which air passes faces the indoor heat exchanger (4), and a front panel (22) that covers the front side of the indoor heat exchanger (4). The air conditioner is provided with a casing (2) having air inlets (8 - 11) and air outlets (6, 7), and a turbofan (5) that generates an air flow in which air is sucked in from the air inlets (8 -11), passes through the indoor heat exchanger (4) and the opening (14) of the bellmouth (13), and is blown out from the air outlets (6, 7). The air inlets (8 -11) are provided in the front panel (22) and/or around thereof, and are located substantially outside the opening of the bellmouth (13) as seen from the front. The total suction area of the air inlets (8 -11) is equal to or greater than 15% of the projected area of the indoor heat exchanger (4) as seen from the front.
