<p>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.</p> |
