PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an air conditioner capable of effectively using air flowing to a pipe space portion while suppressing an increase in power consumption of a fan and improving energy saving performance.SOLUTION: An air conditioner includes: an indoor unit buried in a ceiling and having an air intake and an air diffuser provided on a lower surface thereof; and an outdoor unit connected to the indoor unit by a refrigerant pipe. The indoor unit includes: a centrifugal fan blowing indoor air taken in from the air intake to an outer circumference side by rotating; and an indoor heat exchanger installed on the outer circumference of the centrifugal fan and formed into a generally rectangular shape. The air passing through the indoor heat exchanger is blown from the diffuser. A space is formed between an inlet-side end portion and an outlet-side end portion of the indoor heat exchanger formed into the generally rectangular shape. An extension portion is formed between the space formed between the inlet-side end portion and the outlet-side end portion and the centrifugal fan so that either a refrigerant inlet pipe or a refrigerant outlet pipe extends from the inlet-side end portion or the outlet-side end portion to the opposite end portion. |
