Abstract
An object of the invention is to provide an indoor unit of an air-conditioning apparatus, which facilitates a change of the position from which a pipe is taken out. A heat exchanger unit is inverted back to front in a state in which the relationship between the bottom surface and the upper surface of the heat exchanger unit is maintained, so that a pair of opening portions can be selectively connected to an air outlet of an air-sending unit. The air-sending unit is inverted upside down so that an air outlet can be connected to a selected opening portion from among the pair of opening portions of the heat exchanger unit.
Claims8
An indoor unit of an air-conditioning apparatus, comprising:
- an air-sending unit having an air inlet and an air outlet and having an air-sending device accommodated therein;
- and
- a heat exchanger unit having a pair of opening portions formed at opposite positions and having an indoor side heat exchanger accommodated therein,
- wherein the heat exchanger unit is inverted back to front in such a manner that a relationship between a bottom surface and an upper surface of the heat exchanger unit is maintained, with the result that the pair of opening portions can be selectively connected to the air outlet of the air-sending unit, and
- the air-sending unit is inverted upside down in such a manner that the air outlet can be connected to an opening portion selected from the pair of opening portions of the heat exchanger unit.
An indoor unit of an air-conditioning apparatus, comprising:
- a first unit in which an air-sending device is accommodated;
- and
- a second unit in which a heat exchanger is accommodated,
- the second unit including
- an air passage through air brown from the air-sending device passes,
- a heat exchanger comprised of a plurality of fins and a refrigerant passage,
- a part of a refrigerant pipe used to circulate a refrigerant between the heat exchanger and an external equipment, and
- a drain pan that catches dew condensation water generated in the heat exchanger and dropping therefrom,
- wherein the heat exchanger is disposed so as to slope down with respect to the flow of air, and connects the first unit and the second unit to each other in such a manner that the second unit can be inverted back to front and the first unit can be inverted upside down.
