Abstract:
1. An air conditioner comprising: a casing having a flat panel portion disposed on a front surface, a suction opening having a first suction opening and a second suction opening which are disposed with the flat panel portion in between and through which air that is taken in from indoors passes and a blowout opening through which air that is blown out to the indoors passes, the first suction opening being disposed on a right side surface located on a right side of the flat panel portion, and the second suction opening being disposed on a left side surface located on a left side of the flat panel portion; a filter being disposed facing the flat panel portion downstream of the suction opening and being configured and arranged to transmit air; a heat exchanger being disposed facing the filter behind the filter and performing heat exchange with air that passes through the heat exchanger; a centrifugal fan being disposed behind the heat exchanger; a bellmouth having an air introduction opening that is disposed facing the heat exchanger behind the heat exchanger and that has an outer shape that is smaller than that of the heat exchanger when seen from the front, and being disposed between the heat exchanger and the centrifugal fan; and a blowout passage being configured to guide air from the air introduction opening to the blowout opening, the centrifugal fan being configured to generate a flow of air that is sucked in from the suction opening and flows from a direction along a back of the flat panel portion toward the air introduction opening and passes through the filter, the heat exchanger and the air introduction opening and is blown out from the blowout opening, a surface of the filter on a flat panel portion side having a first slanted surface disposed on a first suction opening side and a second slanted surface disposed on a second suction opening side, and the surface of the filter on the flat panel portion side having a convex shape that projects toward the flat panel portion, the surface of the filter on the flat panel portion side having a shape that slants continuously with respect to the heat exchanger.
