Indoor unit and air-conditioning apparatus provided with the same

Abstract

To provide a low-cost and highly reliable indoor unit and an air-conditioning apparatus having the same by obtaining a dew point temperature at the outlet side without installing a humidity sensor and a dew point temperature detector at the outlet side. An indoor unit includes: an evaporator, a blower, a suction air temperature detector that detects a suction air temperature at the upstream side of an air flow of the evaporator, an outlet air temperature detector that detects an outlet air temperature at the downstream side of the air flow of the evaporator, an evaporator inlet fluid temperature detector that detects a fluid temperature at the fluid inlet side of the evaporator, an adjustment valve that adjusts a flow amount of the fluid made to flow into the evaporator, and a controller that calculates a suction air dew point temperature by suction air temperature information detected by the suction air temperature detector to calculate an outlet air dew point temperature based on the suction air dew point temperature, the suction air temperature, the outlet air temperature, and the evaporator inlet piping temperature.
