Abstract
An indoor unit of an air-conditioning system is provided with a heat exchanger, a fan, and an air cleaner. The fan introduces the air in a room into the indoor unit, and blows the air back into the room after guiding the air to pass through both the heat exchanger and the air cleaner. The heat exchanger performs heat exchange with reference to the air circulated by the fan, for air-cooling, heating, or dehumidification. The air cleaner is arranged in front of the heat exchanger, with a predetermined gap maintained with reference to the heat exchanger. The air cleaner catches dust particles in the air and eliminates odorants from the air. The air cleaner is provided with engaging members. These engaging members are projected from the air cleaner and engage with the heat exchanger. Accordingly, the air cleaner is prevented from swinging, and the gap between the air cleaner and the heat exchanger is maintained at a constant value.
