Air conditioner

Abstract

An air conditioner is disclosed which includes a case having one or more air intake portions, a heat exchanger inside the case, a fan in a vicinity of the heat exchanger, and an intake amount reducing member at one of the air intake portions that reduces an intake amount of introduced air.

1 . An air conditioner comprising:
 a case having one or more air intake portions;   a heat exchanger inside the case;   a fan in a vicinity of the heat exchanger; and   an intake amount reducing member at one of the air intake portions that reduces an intake amount of introduced air.   
     
     
         2 . The air conditioner according to  claim 1 , wherein the intake amount reducing member is disposed at a position along one of the air intake portions which is the closest to the fan. 
     
     
         3 . The air conditioner according to  claim 1 , wherein the intake amount reducing member is disposed in front of the heat exchanger. 
     
     
         4 . The air conditioner according to  claim 1 , wherein the intake amount reducing member comprises a plurality of bars which are disposed lateral to spaces between refrigerant tubes of the heat exchanger. 
     
     
         5 . The air conditioner according to  claim 1 , wherein the intake amount reducing member comprises a plurality of bars which are disposed at an angle with respect to the heat exchanger. 
     
     
         6 . The air conditioner according to  claim 1 , wherein the heat exchanger surrounds air intake sides of the fan. 
     
     
         7 . The air conditioner according to  claim 1 , wherein a filter is disposed at the one or more air intake portions, and the intake amount reducing member is disposed between the filter and the heat exchanger. 
     
     
         8 . The air conditioner according to  claim 1 , further comprising a dividing member that divides air introduced to the heat exchanger. 
     
     
         9 . The air conditioner according to  claim 8 , wherein the one or more air intake portions comprise a front air intake portion and a top air intake portion, and the dividing member is disposed between the front air intake portion and the top air intake portion. 
     
     
         10 . An air conditioner comprising:
 a case having one or more air intake portions;   a heat exchanger inside the case;   a fan in a vicinity of the heat exchanger; and   an intake amount reducing member disposed at a position along one of the air intake portions where an air intake force is the highest.   
     
     
         11 . The air conditioner according to  claim 10 , wherein the intake amount reducing member is disposed in front of the heat exchanger. 
     
     
         12 . The air conditioner according to  claim 10 , wherein the intake amount reducing member comprises a plurality of bars which are disposed lateral to spaces between refrigerant tubes of the heat exchanger. 
     
     
         13 . The air conditioner according to  claim 10 , wherein the intake amount reducing member comprises a plurality of bars which are disposed at an angle with respect to the heat exchanger. 
     
     
         14 . The air conditioner according to  claim 10 , further comprising a dividing member that divides air introduced to the heat exchanger. 
     
     
         15 . An air conditioner comprising:
 a case having one or more air intake portions;   a heat exchanger inside the case, the heat exchanger including a plurality of heat exchange portions arranged at different angles within the case;   a fan in a vicinity of the heat exchanger; and   an intake amount reducing member disposed along at least one of the heat exchange portions of the heat exchanger.   
     
     
         16 . The air conditioner according to  claim 15 , wherein the intake amount reducing member is disposed at a position along at least one of the heat exchange portions which is the closest to the fan. 
     
     
         17 . The air conditioner according to  claim 15 , wherein the intake amount reducing member is disposed in front of the heat exchanger. 
     
     
         18 . The air conditioner according to  claim 15 , wherein the intake amount reducing member comprises a plurality of bars which are disposed lateral to spaces between refrigerant tubes of the heat exchanger. 
     
     
         19 . The air conditioner according to  claim 15 , wherein the intake amount reducing member comprises a plurality of bars which are disposed at an angle with respect to the heat exchanger. 
     
     
         20 . The air conditioner according to  claim 15 , further comprising a dividing member that divides air introduced to the heat exchanger.
