Air conditioner

An air conditioner, comprising:

• a housing having a first outlet and a second outlet;
• a first channel communicating with the first outlet;
• a second channel communicating with the second outlet;
• a tank unit configured to hold water for cooling first air and second air, the first air flowing through the first channel, the second air flowing through the second channel;
• a cooling unit configured to cool the first air by heat of vaporization of water held in the tank unit;
• a water supply channel for supplying water held in the tank unit to the cooling unit;
• and
• a water recovery channel for collecting water remaining in the cooling unit to the tank unit, wherein
• the cooling unit includes:
• a sensible heat exchanger configured to cool the second air by heat exchange with water supplied from the tank unit and cool the first air by sensible heat exchange between the cooled second air and the first air, and
• a vaporization filter configured to cool the first air by heat of vaporization of water supplied from the tank unit;
• the second channel has a portion downstream of the sensible heat exchanger in a flow direction of the second air and including a gas-liquid separator to turn a flow direction of the second channel from a lower side to an upper side;
• the air conditioner further includes a fan and a fan motor disposed downstream of the gas-liquid separator in the flow direction of the second air;
• and
• the fan is configured to convey the first air and the second air, and the fan motor is configured to rotate the fan.

• the sensible heat exchanger has a plurality of paths constituting part of the second channel and extending in an up and down direction;
• the air conditioner further comprises a second water supply part above the sensible heat exchanger, the second water supply part being to hold water to be supplied to each of the plurality of paths;
• and
• the second water supply part includes a water receiver to receive water supplied from the tank unit, and a plurality of ribs each radially extending from the water receiver toward a corresponding path of the plurality of paths.
