Separate-type air conditioner
First Claim
1. A separate-type air conditioner comprising:
- a front heat exchanger disposed in an indoor unit and having an upper edge portion and a lower edge portion respectively formed in a receding manner; and
a rear heat exchanger formed separately from said front heat exchanger and disposed on a rear side of said front heat exchanger;
wherein said rear heat exchanger is disposed such that an upper edge of said rear heat exchanger is disposed in opposing relation to an upper edge of said front heat exchanger, such that a gap is defined between a portion of the upper edge of said rear heat exchanger which is closest to said front heat exchanger and a portion of the upper edge of said front heat exchanger which is closest to said rear heat exchanger, and a lower edge side of said rear heat exchanger is disposed in such a manner as to be inclined in a direction away from said front heat exchanger.

Abstract
The invention relates to a separation-type air conditioner capable of increasing the heat exchanging area of a compact indoor unit and of effecting high-performance heat exchange, and particularly employable as a high-performance yet compact indoor unit whose height is low. A front heat exchanger having a configuration in which an upper edge portion and a lower edge portion are respectively made to recede is disposed in an indoor unit. In addition, a rear heat exchanger separate from the front heat exchanger is disposed on the rear surface side of the front heat exchanger. Consequently, it is possible to increase the heat exchanging area in an indoor unit having the same height, and improve the heat exchanging capacity.
