Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3540318A1] An indoor unit for an air-conditioning unit that can prevent dew condensation on an air-flow-direction control plate in a vicinity of a heat exchanger, and includes a casing, an air inlet on the casing, an air outlet opening in a bottom surface of the casing, a heat exchanger in an air passage extending from the air inlet to the air outlet, a fan on a windward side of the heat exchanger in the air passage, and an air-flow-direction control plate in the air passage between the heat exchanger and the air outlet. The heat exchanger includes a plurality of heat exchanger blocks arranged in a front-and-rear direction of the casing, and includes a refrigerant inlet through which refrigerant flows into the heat exchanger, and a refrigerant outlet through which the refrigerant flows out of the heat exchanger. The air-flow-direction control plate is provided in the vicinity of one of the heat exchanger blocks, the refrigerant outlet is provided in a heat exchanger block other than the heat exchanger block provided in the vicinity of the air-flow-direction control plate, and the number of refrigerant outlets is larger than the number of refrigerant inlets.
