Abstract
An air conditioner for dwelling rooms or the like, of the type wherein two air flows are maintained in communication with the room inside and respectively with the outer atmosphere, in cooperation with one or two holes made in the shutter glass panes of a room window. Said air conditioner is installed out of the window, on the window sill, and is put in communication with the room inside through air flow ducts mating with said glass pane holes when the window inner shutters are closed, in order to reduce the air conditioner noise and allow a free inner shutter opening. The air conditioner is associated with an upper support for the edge of the window outer rolling shutter, as well as with lateral opaque panels in order to allow a complete room darkening without hindering the air conditioner operation.
