Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3614063A1] An indoor unit for an air conditioner includes a turbo fan (30) disposed in a casing and configured to rotate in a predetermined rotation direction (arrow R1), a heat exchanger (40) disposed along a periphery of the turbo fan (30) in the casing; and a partition plate (50) connected to two ends of the heat exchanger (40) to surround the turbo fan (30) in conjunction with the heat exchanger (40). The turbo fan (30) has a center (O1) located upstream of a current of air (arrow R2) between the turbo fan (30) and the partition plate (50), with respect to a perpendicular bisector (L2) of a line (L1) connecting two ends of the partition plate (50). The indoor unit for an air conditioner thus reduces a pressure at a high-pressure spot that may occur at an end of the partition with which an opening of the heat exchanger (40) is covered, to thereby reduce unusual noise.
