Patent ID: 11131470

Abstract:
Provided is an indoor unit for a refrigeration apparatus that is capable of detecting a refrigerant leak while suppressing condensation on a refrigerant gas sensor. An indoor unit (50) for an air conditioner (100) including a refrigerant circuit (10) includes a casing (60), an indoor fan (53), and a refrigerant gas sensor (81). The refrigerant circuit (10) has refrigerant charged therein, and performs a refrigeration cycle. The casing (60) houses at least a portion of the refrigerant circuit (10), and has a blow-out port (64) that opens in a direction other than an up-down direction. The indoor fan (53) is housed in the casing (60), and generates an air flow (F) directed from the blow-out port (64) to outside the casing (60). The refrigerant gas sensor (81) is capable of detecting a refrigerant gas below a bottom surface (63) of the casing (60).
