A blower may include a body or case having a suction hole through which air passes, a fan provided inside the body and causing a flow of air, and a filter provided inside the body. The filter may be positioned upstream of the fan and extend in a longitudinal direction of the body. A longitudinal axis of the filter may be shifted or displaced with respect to a longitudinal axis of the body.

Blower

An axial fan for an outdoor unit of an air conditioner is provided. The axial fan may include at least one blade connected to a hub. The at least one blade may include a blade inner portion, a blade outer portion provided outside of the blade inner portion in a radial direction, and a blade connector that connects the blade inner portion and the blade outer portion as a curved surface, thereby improving noise and increasing an air volume.

Axial fan for outdoor unit of air conditioner

Embodiments disclosed herein may provide an air conditioner having a case and a cover coupled to the case. A cover separation unit may separate the cover from the case at upper and lower sides. The cover separation unit may include a lever that slides along an outer surface of the case and a pusher rotatably coupled to the lever to rotate to push the cover. A guide may guide the pusher to rotate as the pusher is moved along an outer surface of the case.

Air conditioner

An air conditioner and evaporator inlet header distributor therefor are provided. The air conditioner may include an evaporator inlet header distributor to distribute a refrigerant expanded in an expansion mechanism to a plurality of refrigerant flow paths of an evaporator. The evaporator inlet header distributor may include a distributor body, a refrigerant inlet pipe to guide refrigerant expanded in the expansion mechanism to an inside of the distributor body, a plurality of refrigerant outlet pipes to discharge the refrigerant from the distributor body into the plurality of refrigerant flow paths, and a separating plate to separate the inside of the distributor body into a header flow path connected with the plurality of refrigerant outlet pipes and a refrigerant dispersing flow path connected with the refrigerant inlet pipe to guide an upper portion and a lower portion of the header flow path by dispersing the refrigerant. Accordingly, two-phase refrigerant may be uniformly distributed to the plurality of refrigerant outlet pipes using a simple structure.
