A floor-positioned air-conditioning apparatus including a housing including a fan and a heat exchanger; a forward blowing control member rotatably arranged at a forward air outlet formed in a housing front surface at a position near a housing top surface; and an upward blowing control member rotatably arranged at an upward air outlet formed near the housing front surface are included. The forward blowing control member closes the forward air outlet and the upward blowing control member closes the upward air outlet during operation stop. The forward blowing control member closes the forward air outlet and the upward blowing control member is rotated and opens the upward air outlet during cooling operation. The upward blowing control member closes the upward air outlet and the forward blowing control member is rotated and opens the forward air outlet during heating operation.

Floor-positioned air-conditioning apparatus

There has been a problem of dew condensation, during a cooling operation, on a wind vane or the like provided at an air outlet because the wind speed of blown air leaking from ends in longitudinal direction of the air outlet is low, causing the entanglement of room air. Walls that form an air outlet from which air that has exchanged heat in a heat exchanger is blown are provided. End portions of each of the walls in a longitudinal direction of the air outlet have respective recesses such that a passage of the air therein is made wider than in a central portion of the wall. In the longitudinal direction of the air outlet, the recesses each have a downstream-side width that is smaller than an upstream-side width.
