An air-conditioner indoor unit (10) is configured to be capable of changing the direction of an airflow that is blown out through a blow-out port (15). The air-conditioner indoor unit (10) includes a control unit (40) that switches between a normal mode and a wide mode. The control unit (40) switches to the wide mode when an air conditioning load is higher than a predetermined value and extends at least vertically a range that is to be reached by the airflow in an air-conditioning target space in the wide mode compared with the normal mode.

An indoor unit for an air-conditioning apparatus includes a main heat exchanger unit and a sub heat exchanger unit, the main heat exchanger unit includes a first main heat exchanger disposed at a front side of a case and a first heat-transfer pipe extending in a vertical direction, and a second main heat exchanger disposed at a back side of the case and a second heat-transfer pipe extending in the vertical direction. The sub heat exchanger unit includes a leeward-side first sub heat exchanger disposed at a leeward side of the first main heat exchanger and a heat-transfer pipe extending in a width direction, and a leeward-side second sub heat exchanger including a heat-transfer pipe extending in the width direction of the case. The leeward-side second sub heat exchanger has a lower end surface located above an air passage wall and is disposed at a leeward side of the second main heat exchanger.

An indoor unit for an air-conditioning apparatus includes a case, an air-sending fan, and a heat exchanger unit. The heat exchanger unit includes a plurality of heat-transfer pipes extending in a vertical direction and forming a plurality of refrigerant passages in a width direction of the case and an air flow direction, and a plurality of headers connected to both ends of the plurality of heat-transfer pipes to allow the refrigerant to flow between the plurality of heat-transfer pipes. The plurality of headers include a plurality of division headers dividing and connecting the plurality of heat-transfer pipes arranged in the air flow direction and connecting in parallel the plurality of heat-transfer pipes arranged in the width direction, and a return header connecting and turning back the plurality of divided refrigerant passages arranged in the air flow direction and connecting in parallel the plurality of heat-transfer pipes arranged in the width direction.

An air conditioning indoor unit includes a casing having an air outlet, a horizontal blade, a Coanda blade and a control unit. The horizontal blade changes an up and down direction flow of outlet air blown out from the air outlet. The Coanda blade cooperates with the horizontal blade in order to utilize the Coanda effect to change the outlet air to a Coanda airflow along a predetermined surface. The control unit changes postures of the Coanda blade and the horizontal blade to predetermined postures that change some of the outlet air to the Coanda airflow and do not change a remainder of the outlet air to the Coanda airflow.

In an air-conditioning device, back flow is less likely to occur at an outlet port in relation to an inlet resistance, and the air-conditioning device includes: a main body having an inlet port and an outlet port; a cross-flow fan provided inside the main body; and a heat exchanger provided inside the main body, wherein the main body includes at least a front surface, a rear surface, an upper surface and a lower surface, the inlet port is formed in the upper surface, a ratio H/Df between the main body height dimension H and the fan outer diameter Df is 2.2 to 2.7, and an angle of inclination between a rear part of an front upward inclination section of the heat exchanger and a vertical direction is 30° to 45°.

An air-conditioning apparatus includes a heat-source detection unit provided at the front of a housing. The heat-source detection unit includes an infrared sensor that detects a heat source in an air-conditioned space and a supporting member that supports the infrared sensor. The supporting member is rotated about an axis that extends in a vertical direction. Part of the infrared sensor that corresponds to the field of view thereof is exposed when the infrared sensor faces the air-conditioned space, and the part of the infrared sensor is concealed when the infrared sensor does not face the air-conditioned space.

A load unit includes a water circuit chamber configured to accommodate at least a part of a water circuit configured to allow water to flow therethrough, a fan, an air inlet formed at a height positioned different from that of the air inlet and configured to suck indoor air therethrough, an air outlet configured to blow indoors the air sucked through the air inlet, and an air passage formed between the air inlet and the air outlet so as to be isolated from the water circuit chamber. A load-side heat exchanger is provided in the air passage.

An air conditioner includes a main body that includes a suction port and an outlet port, wherein: the main body includes a front surface, a back surface, an upper surface, a lower surface, and a pair of side surfaces; the suction port is formed on any of the front surface, the upper surface, and the side surfaces; the outlet port is formed on at least the lower surface; an outlet air channel is upstream from the outlet port; a side of the outlet air channel near the front surface is formed by a diffuser; and the diffuser includes a portion that diverges from an imaginary straight line that constitutes a direction of extension of an upstream portion of the diffuser increasingly toward a downstream end of the diffuser in a side view.
