Abstract
An air-conditioning indoor unit is operable in a Coanda effect use mode in which blown air from a blow-out port is diverted in a predetermined direction. The indoor unit includes a scroll leading conditioned air to the blow-out port, a Coanda vane in proximity to the blow-out port, and a controller controlling orientation of the Coanda vane. The Coanda vane alters an airflow direction of the blown air via the Coanda effect and turns the blown air into a Coanda airflow along a bottom surface of the Coanda vane. A convex shaped curved surface formed in the bottom surface of the Coanda vane has a radius of 50 to 300 mm. The controller adjusts the orientation of the Coanda vane away from a casing front surface as the Coanda vane separates from the blow-out port in the Coanda effect use mode.
