Abstract (en)

This indoor unit for an air conditioner comprises a unit body that has an inlet and an outlet, houses a heat exchanger and a blower inside, and is mounted on a wall surface of a room, a drain pan that is disposed at the bottom of the heat exchanger and receives drain water generated and dripping from the heat exchanger during the refrigeration cycle operation, and a drain hose that is connected to the drain pan and discharges the drain water received by the drain pan to the outside of the unit body. The unit body or the drain pan has a fixing part for positioning and fixing the drain hose. The drain hose has a part to be fixed that is positioned and fixed to the fixing part. The fixing part and the part to be fixed have a coupling mechanism that is accessed from the direction facing the wall surface and couples the two parts together.
