Abstract
A room air conditioner in which the interior of a cabinet is divided into an indoor portion and an outdoor portion by a partition plate having a non-vertical section, and a fan motor is supported in the outdoor portion in such a manner that its rotary shaft is disposed perpendicular to the bottom of the cabinet and penetrates the partition plate at one end thereof to extend into the indoor portion. A first centrifugal fan is mounted at one end of the rotary shaft of the fan motor while a second Silocco fan is mounted at the other end thereof disposed in the outdoor portion. An indoor heat exchanger is disposed in spaced juxtaposed relation to a suction opening formed in the front of the indoor portion so that the air inside a room is drawn by suction through the indoor suction opening and caused to pass through the indoor heat exchanger by means of the first Silocco fan which exhausts air into the room through an indoor exhaust port, and an outdoor heat exchanger is disposed in spaced juxtaposed relation to a suction opening formed in the rear of the outdoor portion so that the air outside the room is drawn by suction through the outdoor suction opening and caused to pass through the outdoor heat exchanger by means of the second centrifugal fan which exhausts air outside the room through an outdour exhaust port. The room air conditioner has a greatly reduced thickness as compared with the same type of air conditioners of the prior art.
