Abstract (en)

[origin: EP4119863A1] An indoor unit (1) includes a housing (2), a centrifugal fan (3), a heat exchanger (4), and a partition plate (5). The centrifugal fan (3) is contained in the housing (2), has a rotational axis, and is configured to rotate about the rotational axis. The heat exchanger (4) is arranged to surround at least three quarters of an outer circumferential periphery of the centrifugal fan (3), and has a first end (41) located upstream in a rotational direction of the centrifugal fan (3), and a second end (42) located downstream in the rotational direction of the centrifugal fan (3) and spaced from the first end (41). The partition plate (5) has a protruding portion (51) protruding toward the centrifugal fan (3) from the first end (41) and the second end (42) of the heat exchanger (4). An apex (TP) of the protruding portion (51) of the partition plate (5) is located closer to the first end (41) than to the second end (42).
