An air-conditioning apparatus includes an indoor unit including a pair of lateral air-directing vanes each configured to adjust an orientation of an air flow blown from an air outlet in a lateral direction, and a remote control device configured to receive selection of at least two of a plurality of air flow directions in the lateral direction. The indoor unit includes an indoor-unit controller configured to individually adjust operations of the pair of lateral air-directing vanes in accordance with the selection of the plurality of air flow directions in the remote control device such that a left partial air flow does not collide with a right partial air flow.

Air-conditioning apparatus

An air conditioner that can present information on a predicted value of stored energy usage per unit time, a predicted value of the electricity charge per unit time, and a predicted value of the amount of CO2 emission per unit time, at the start of operation. The air conditioner includes a predicted electricity efficiency speculating unit that speculates on electricity efficiency, which is stored energy usage per unit time predicted from a set parameter set by the user at the present time, based on a stored value of the recent stored energy usage storing unit, a calculated result of the actual usage electricity efficiency calculating unit, and a compared result of the setting comparing unit, a predicted electricity efficiency calculating unit that calculates an electricity charge per unit time or a predicted amount of CO2 emission efficiency calculating unit that calculates an amount of CO2 emission per unit time, and a displaying unit that displays the calculated information stored energy usage at the start of air conditioner operation.

Air conditioner with estimation of energy efficiency, energy charge efficiency and CO2 emission efficiency

A control deviceincludes: a target area deciding unitfor setting either of binary values of 0 and 1 to plural area sections and deciding a targeted area section for air-conditioning; and an area air direction control unitfor carrying out control operation, so that when controlling at least one of air direction control stepping motors directed to the targeted area section for air-conditioning, a left/right air direction control stepping motor carries out control operation based on depth direction one-dimensional data obtained by calculating a logical sun of each column in depth direction of each area section in a group of area sections, and an up/down air direction control stepping motor carries out control operation based on left/right direction one-dimensional data obtained by calculating a logical sum of each column in left/right direction of each area section in the group of area sections.
