An air conditioner comprises a water distributor having an opening on its bottom plate, dams around the opening and inverted U-shaped members with a small space formed between the inverted U-shaped plates and the dams so that water in the distributor is guided by a capillary action and distributed to an indoor heat exchanger. A reservoir is disposed to a pipe system between a pump and the indoor heat exchanger so that drain water in the outdoor drain pan is directed to the indoor heat exchanger through the reservoir. The reservoir has a tube which permits excessive water to spill over an opening of the tube to return to the outdoor drain pan through a returning conduit pipe.

Air conditioner

A room air conditioner of a window mounted unit type having an air inlet grill and an air outlet grill on a front panel of the air conditioner. The air conditioner has a blower, a heat exchanger and an air passage directing an air flow from the blower to the heat exchanger, and an air guide arrangement in the air passage. The air guide arrangement guides the air flow from the blower to the heat exchanger in a uniform manner to minimize deviation of air flow distribution in the air passage to the heat exchanger.
