An apparatus and method for easily and permanently leveling an appliance is described. The apparatus involves a modification to the appliance to support shims, and preferably the two-part adjustable leveling shims. Alternatively, a template for affixing two-part adjustable leveling shims is used between the appliance and the mounting surface.

A wooden-cabinet for air conditioning system including a cabinet for housing an air conditioning system wherein the cabinet is depicted in the form of a fireplace or a wood mantel, and the cabinet is preferably made of wood material. The cabinet preferably houses the indoor unit of the air condition system and includes heat pumps, split type heat pumps, split-HVAC, hydronic based heating systems and like. The cabinet comprise a substantially rectangular shaped enclosure having the air inlet, air outlet, components of air condition system, control unit etc. The faux fireplace cabinet comprises an illustrative model of a fireplace defined on the front side of the cabinet.

An air conditioner is provided. The air conditioner may include a case, first and second discharge ports disposed on opposite sides of the case to discharge air, at least one discharge vane rotatably disposed at each of the first and second discharge ports, and an operation panel disposed between the first and second discharge ports. The operation panel is movable to selectively vary a discharge area of each of the first and second discharge ports. The discharge are selectively rotatable when not covered by the operation panel to vary an air flow direction.

A heat exchange unit includes a heat exchanger, a first drain pan, and a second drain pan. The heat exchanger is configured to cause heat to be exchanged between air and refrigerant. The first drain pan is provided so as to face the heat exchanger and has an opening through which the air flows. The second drain pan is provided so as to face the heat exchanger and is attached to the first drain pan so as to form an L shape in side view together with the first drain pan. The heat exchange unit is installed in an installation state in which the first drain pan is located below the heat exchanger or in an installation state in which the second drain pan is located below the heat exchanger. The second drain pan includes a rib on a facing surface facing the heat exchanger.

Disclosed are an air conditioning indoor unit and an air conditioner. The air conditioning indoor unit includes a housing and a ventilator in the housing. The housing has a frame and a panel. The panel defines a first ventilation opening, and the frame defines a second ventilation opening corresponding to the first ventilation opening. The ventilator is communicated with the second ventilation opening. The air conditioning indoor unit further includes a sealer disposed at the second ventilation opening and configured to seal a gap between the frame and the ventilator and/or to seal a gap between the frame and the panel.

An air conditioner and a control method thereof perform cooling through an outlet if room temperature or room humidity is high to reduce the room temperature or the room humidity, and closing the outlet to perform cooling at low velocity through an outlet hole if room temperature or room humidity reaches a predetermined value so that a user can little feel the wind velocity of cooling of the air conditioner, while maintaining indoor space at pleasant temperature or humidity. By performing cooling at low velocity through the outlet hole formed in the lower portion of the air conditioner, it is possible to cool the lower area of indoor space at pleasant temperature when a user is asleep.

A floor-standing air-conditioning indoor unit and an air conditioner are provided. The indoor unit has a housing, a top air outlet frame, a fan assembly and a driving device. The housing has an air inlet and a mounting port with an upward opening. An air duct is formed between the air inlet and the mounting port. The top air outlet frame is installed at the mounting port and movable up and down. The fan assembly is installed in the air duct and blows airflow to a lower port of the top air outlet frame and out from a front port of the top air outlet frame. The driving device has a driving member and a motion conversion member connected with the top air outlet frame. The driving member drives the motion conversion member to move along the first direction to move the top air outlet frame up and down.

A floor-type air-conditioning indoor unit and an air conditioner are provided. The indoor unit has a housing, a top air outlet frame and a fan assembly. The housing has an installation port where the top air outlet frame is installed. The top air outlet frame is movable in an up-down direction and has a lower port and a front port. The fan assembly blows airflow from the air inlet to the lower port and out from the front port of the top air outlet frame. One of the top air outlet frame and the housing is provided with a sliding plate extending in the up-down direction, and the other is provided with a sliding groove engaging the sliding plate. A length of the sliding plate is longer than or equal to a maximum trip of the top air outlet frame in the up-down direction.

A floor-standing air conditioner indoor unit and an air conditioner are provided. The indoor unit has a housing, a top air outlet frame, a fan assembly and a heat exchanger. The housing has an outer housing and an air duct housing in the outer housing. An air duct is formed in the air duct housing. The air duct housing has a rear air inlet and a front air outlet communicating with the air duct. A lower end of the top air outlet frame is in communication with the air duct. A top air outlet is formed on a front side of the top air outlet frame. The top air outlet frame is mounted on a top of the air duct housing and movable in a vertical direction to allow the top air outlet to extend out of the outer housing or retract into the air duct housing.
