Embodiment Construction

[0055] figure 1 , 2 An indoor unit of a separate air conditioner according to the present embodiment is shown. The indoor unit has a heat exchanger 1 , a fan 2 and a casing 3 , and the heat exchanger 1 and the fan 2 are built in the casing 3 . A suction port 4 is formed on the upper surface of the case 3 that is elongated in the left-right direction. An air outlet 5 is formed on a curved surface extending from the lower front surface of the housing 3 to the bottom surface. In addition, when the housing 3 is viewed from the front, the width direction is defined as the left-right direction, the depth direction is defined as the front-rear direction, and the height direction is defined as the up-down direction.

[0056] The unshown outdoor unit has a built-in compressor, heat exchanger, four-way valve, throttling device and fan. The indoor unit and the outdoor unit are connected by refrigerant pipes to form a refrigeration cycle. The air conditioner performs air-conditioning...

Abstract

This air conditioner is configured in such a manner that the temperature around the evaporator is reduced utilizing the cold energy of drain water. A cooling section is provided around the heat exchanger of the indoor unit, the heat exchanger serving as the evaporator during cooling operation. The cooling section has a structure in which a heat exchange section is formed on a conveyance body. The conveyance body is disposed within a drain pan and is immersed in drain water. The heat exchange section is disposed on the windward side of the heat exchanger so as to face the heat exchanger. The cold energy of drain water accumulating in the drain pan is transferred to the heat exchange section through the conveyance body. Air sucked in from the indoor space passes around the heat exchange section and is cooled by the cold energy. The air, the temperature of which has been reduced, passes through the heat exchanger, and the temperature of the air is further reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an air conditioner having a drain pan that receives drain water generated by an evaporator when the air conditioner is in operation. Background technique [0002] In the indoor unit of the split-type air conditioner, a fan and a heat exchanger are built in the casing. During cooling operation, the heat exchanger of the indoor unit acts as an evaporator. The air sucked in from the room is cooled at the evaporator, and the cold air is blown into the room. When the sucked air passes through the evaporator, the water vapor contained in the air is condensed to produce discharged water. Drain water drips and is stored in a drain pan provided below the evaporator. The stored drain water is discharged to the outside through the drain pipe. [0003] Usually, the effluent water is discharged directly. In order to utilize the drain water, in the air conditioner described in Patent Document 1, the outdoor air supplied to the r...
