Abstract
A cross-flow fan includes a plurality of fan blades provided to be circumferentially spaced apart from each other. The fan blade has an inner edge portion arranged on the radially inner side to/from which air flows in/out, and an outer edge portion arranged on the radially outer side to/from which air flows in/out. Fan blade has a blade surface extending between the inner edge portion and the outer edge portion. The blade surface includes a pressure surface arranged on the rotation direction side of the cross-flow fan and a suction surface arranged on the back side of the pressure surface. When cut along a plane orthogonal to the rotation axis of the cross-flow fan, the fan blade has a blade cross-sectional shape in which a concave portion concave from the pressure surface is formed.
