Abstract:
1. An air conditioner comprising: a unit body; an L-shaped heat exchanger configured with a lateral-side heat exchanger installed on a lateral surface of the unit body and a rear-side heat exchanger installed on a rear surface of the unit body wherein the L-shaped heat exchanger has an L-shape in a horizontal plane; a propeller fan provided in the unit body so as to be surrounded by the L-shaped heat exchanger for generating a flow from sucking ports formed on the lateral surface of the unit body and on the rear surface of the unit body to a blow-off port formed in a front panel of the unit body; a bell mouth installed radially outward of the propeller fan; and a partition plate to partition an installation space of a compressor for supplying a refrigerant to the heat exchanger and an installation space of the propeller fan and to guide an airstream from the heat exchanger toward the bell mouth, wherein the bell mouth has a first bell mouth portion which includes a sectional portion and a vicinity of the sectional portion, the sectional portion being intersected by a line segment that extends from a horizontal end of the lateral-side heat exchanger proximate to the first bell mouth portion to a center of the propeller fan, the sectional portion and the vicinity of the sectional portion have different dimensions in different respective radial directions of the propeller fan from an inner portion of the first bell mouth portion to an outer portion of the first bell mouth portion at an upstream side of the propeller fan of the first bell mouth portion, wherein the largest of said dimensions is along the line segment between the center of the propeller fan and the end of the lateral-side heat exchanger, and a second bell mouth portion which is located at the partition plate side of a sectional portion in a line-symmetrical relation to the first bell mouth portion with respect to a vertical line passing the center of the propeller fan, and the bell mouth is formed such that the first bell mouth portion extends in an upstream direction of the propeller fan a longer distance than the second bell mouth portion.
