Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2829816A1] An indoor unit (2) for an air conditioner (1) includes: a drain pan (50) having a drain receiver (52) that is extended along a heat exchanger (10) and that receives, at the lower side of the heat exchanger, water generated on a surface of the heat exchanger (10); and a partition wall (54) that is erected to be in contact with the heat exchanger (10) from a lower side and that partitions the drain receiver (52) into a primary side and a secondary side so as to form an inner groove (56) which receives the water on the primary side and an outer groove (58) which receives the water on the upstream side. A bottom of the outer groove (58) and a bottom of the inner groove (56) have respectively inclinations which are descending slopes where the water flows toward a drain pump (60). An average inclination angle of the bottom of the outer groove (58) is larger than an inclination angle of the bottom of the inner groove (56).
