Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An air conditioner includes a main unit having an enclosure defining an air outlet. The enclosure contains a heat exchanger generating a cool air or a warm air forming airflow running out of the air outlet. A pair of fan units are disposed on the opposite sides of the air outlet. The fan units are configured to suck a room air and to blow the room air. The heat exchanger includes a rear section having a length larger than that of a front section in the longitudinal direction of the air outlet. The rear section extends into at least one of spaces respectively defined behind the fan units.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An air conditioner comprising: a main unit having an enclosure defining an air outlet, the enclosure containing a heat exchanger generating a cool air or a warm air forming an airflow running out of the air outlet into a room space; and a pair of fan units disposed on opposite sides of the air outlet, the fan units being configured to suck a room air and to blow the room air at room temperature into the room space, wherein the heat exchanger includes: a front section disposed in a space between the fan units; and a rear section having a length larger than that of the front section in a longitudinal direction of the air outlet, wherein the rear section extends into at least one of spaces respectively defined behind the fan units. 2. The air conditioner according to claim 1 , further comprising: a first driving source configured to drive a first blower fan contained inside the enclosure; and a second driving source, independent of the first driving source, configured to drive a second blower fan contained in an enclosure of each of the fan units. 3. The air conditioner according to claim 2 , wherein the fan units are supported on the main unit for a relative attitude change to the main unit.
