PURPOSE:To provide an air conditioner which provides a sterilizing effect in addition to a deodorizing effect, by a method wherein a containing chamber through which to cause indoor air to flow is situated in the vent passage of a fan through which to circulate indoor air, and a solution of aqueous stabilizing chlorine dioxide or a gelatinous substance thereof is held in the containing chamber. CONSTITUTION:A solution of aqueous stabilizing chlorine dioxide or gelatinous substance thereof is contained in a container 18 contained in a containing chamber 17. A vent passage, in which indoor air is sucked from an air intake port 6 to the leeward side of a heat exchanger 8, in order, through the containing chamber 17 and a duct 23, is formed, and the indoor air is joined with sucked indoor air from a suction grill 3 through the heat exchanger 8 to be discharged through an outlet 5. With a vent port 19 opened through control of a lever 21 during heating operation and ventilation, air is brought into contact with a solution of aqueous stabilizing chlorine dioxide or a gelatinous substance thereof in the container 18 to produce isolated chlorine dioxide, an odor component is removed, and pathogenic bacteria are killed. During the stop of operation, with the vent port 6 closed through control of the lever 21, dissipation action of isolated chlorine dioxide is stopped, and solution of aqueous stabilizing chlorine dioxide or gel-atinous substance thereof has a long life. |
