AIR CONDITIONING APPARATUS

摘要

An air conditioning apparatus includes a casing having intake and blow-out ports, a partition member dividing an interior of the casing and having a fan entrance, a heat exchanger, a first drain pan mounted in the heat exchanger to receive water produced by dew condensation in the heat exchanger, and a centrifugal fan. The centrifugal fan includes a bladed wheel mounted in the fan compartment such that a rotary shaft of the bladed wheel is oriented along the fan entrance. The first drain is disposed adjacent to a drain pan nearby lateral part of multiple lateral parts of the casing that are disposed along the opening direction of the fan entrance. The rotary shaft is disposed adjacent to a bladed wheel nearby lateral part of the multiple lateral parts of the casing and being opposed to the drain pan nearby lateral part.
