Abstract
An indoor unit of an air-conditioning apparatus includes a plurality of blower fans provided adjacent to each other in a left-right direction, a heat exchanger, and a plurality of vertical vanes that are provided in an air outlet and that deflect an airflow to be blown out from the air outlet in a left/right direction. Further, when the airflow to be blown out from the air outlet is deflected in at least one direction in the left/right direction, the air volume of the blower fan disposed on the leftmost side or the rightmost side of the vertical vanes corresponding to the deflection direction is reduced relative to the air volume of the other blower fan.
Claims11
An indoor unit of an air-conditioning apparatus, comprising:
- a casing being formed with an air inlet in an upper portion of the casing and with an air outlet on a lower front side of the casing;
- a plurality of blower fans, including a propeller type or a mixed flow type, being provided on a downstream side of the air inlet so as to be adjacent to each other along a left-right direction of the casing;
- a heat exchanger being provided on a downstream side of the blower fans and on an upstream side of the air outlet, the heat exchanger exchanging heat between air that has been blown out from the blower fans and a refrigerant;
- and
- a plurality of vertical vanes being oscillatably provided in the air outlet in the left-right direction, the vertical vanes deflecting airflow to be blown out from the air outlet in a left/right direction,
- wherein
- at time of deflecting the airflow to be blown out from the air outlet with the vertical vanes in at least one direction in the left/right direction,
- an air volume of a blower fan of the blower fans disposed on a leftmost side or a rightmost side of the vertical vanes corresponding to the deflection direction is reduced relative to an air volume of a blower fan other than the blower fan disposed on the leftmost side or the rightmost side.
