Air conditioner

Abstract

Provided is an air conditioner. According to the air conditioner, an installation structure of an indoor heat exchanger installed inside the air conditioner is improved, so that the air conditioner become slim and an installation space for additional devices such as a filter can be secured. According to the air conditioner, the indoor heat exchanger divides a passage of air introduced into a main unit into an upper passage and a lower passage, so that interference between the upper and lower passages can be minimized, and thus operation efficiency of the air conditioner can improve. Also, a space of a predetermined size is formed between the indoor heat exchanger and air intake holes to receive a predetermined device such as a filter and a negative ion generator that can give a separate function to the air conditioner.

1 . An air conditioner comprising:
 a main unit including air intake holes;   a plurality of blower fans provided at positions separated from each other inside the main unit;   a plurality of discharge holes through which air introduced into the main unit is discharged;   a first heat exchanger having at least a portion installed obliquely inside the main unit, for exchanging heat with air moving to one of the blower fans; and   a second heat exchanger having at least a portion installed obliquely inside the main unit, for exchanging heat with air moving to another of the blower fans.   
     
     
         2 . The air conditioner according to  claim 1 , wherein the first heat exchanger is integrally formed with the second heat exchanger. 
     
     
         3 . The air conditioner according to  claim 1 , wherein one ends of the first and second heat exchangers are installed at installation portions provided to a center of the main unit, respectively. 
     
     
         4 . The air conditioner according to  claim 1 , wherein the first heat exchanger has at least a portion inclined downward from the air intake holes to an inside of the air conditioner and the second first heat exchanger has at least a portion inclined upward from the air intake holes to an inside of the air conditioner. 
     
     
         5 . The air conditioner according to  claim 1 , wherein a portion of the heat exchanger is located between the plurality of blower fans. 
     
     
         6 . The air conditioner according to  claim 1 , wherein a space of a predetermined size is formed between the air intake holes and the heat exchanger, and a vertical lateral cross-section of the space is greater in its center rather than in its both sides. 
     
     
         7 . The air conditioner according to  claim 6 , wherein an additional device such as a filter and a negative ion generator that gives a predetermined function is provided in the space. 
     
     
         8 . The air conditioner according to  claim 6 , wherein the air intake holes comprise front intake holes and a lateral air intake hole formed in a position corresponding to the space, and air introduced via the front intake holes and the lateral air intake hole flows into the space and passes through the heat exchanger. 
     
     
         9 . An air conditioner comprising:
 a main unit including air intake holes;   a plurality of discharge holes for allowing air introduced via the air intake holes to be discharged;   a plurality of blower fans located inside the discharge holes, respectively;   a plurality of passages through which air flows from the air intake holes to the discharge holes, respectively; and   a heat exchanger installed such that the passages are separated from each other, for exchanging heat with air introduced via the air intake holes.   
     
     
         10 . The air conditioner according to  claim 9 , wherein the heat exchanger comprises a first heat exchanger and a second heat exchanger for exchanging heat with air flowing through the plurality of passages,
 wherein at least portions of the first and second heat exchanger are disposed in a predetermined direction such that the portions get close from the air intake holes to a rear side of the air conditioner.   
     
     
         11 . The air conditioner according to  claim 10 , wherein the first and second heat exchangers are integrally formed with each other. 
     
     
         12 . The air conditioner according to  claim 10 , wherein a space of a predetermined size is formed between the air intake holes and the heat exchanger, and air is introducible from a front side and lateral sides of the space.
