Air-sending device, and air-conditioning apparatus including the air-sending device
An air-sending device includes a housing including an inlet air passage communicating with an air inlet and an outlet air passage communicating with an air outlet, a first partition plate partitioning an interior of the housing into the inlet air passage and the outlet air passage, a bell mouth disposed around an opening defined in the first partition plate, and an impeller disposed over the first partition plate across the bell mouth and having a rotation axis that extends in a direction that intersects the first partition plate. The impeller suctions air into the inlet air passage from the air inlet, and blows out air from the air outlet through the outlet air passage. The inlet air passage guides air from the air inlet to the opening along the first partition plate, and has an air-passage wall.
AIR FILTERING UNIT
An air filtering unit for filtering air from an indoor setting, the air filtering unit including a housing including a first indoor inlet air path and a second indoor inlet air path for receiving indoor air, and an outlet for discharge of filtered air, all indoor air entering the housing must flow through the first indoor inlet air path or the second indoor inlet air path in order to reach the outlet; an indoor damper arrangement including one or more damper elements controllable between at least a first configuration and a second configuration, in the first configuration the first indoor inlet air path is open whilst the second indoor inlet air path is closed to airflow, and in the second configuration the second indoor inlet air path is open whilst the first indoor inlet air path is closed to airflow; a first filter device; a second filter device.

MOTOR, FAN, AND AIR CONDITIONER
A motor includes a rotor having a shaft, a rotor core, and a permanent magnet, and a stator surrounding the rotor. The permanent magnet forms a magnet magnetic pole, a part of the rotor core forms a virtual magnetic pole. The motor includes first and second bearings support the shaft, and further includes first and second bearing support portions. Of the first and second bearings, the first bearing is located on the load side. A distance D1 from the center axis to the inner circumferential surface of the first bearing support portion, a distance D2 from the center axis to the inner circumferential surface of the second bearing support portion, a distance d1 from the center axis to the outer circumferential surface of the first bearing, and a distance d2 from the center axis to the outer circumferential surface of the second bearing satisfy D1−d1<D2−d2.

Slim fan coil unit
A fan coil unit includes a cabinet, a heat exchanger located in the cabinet, an airflow inlet to admit an airflow into the cabinet, and an airflow outlet to allow the airflow to exit the cabinet. A fan is located in the cabinet to urge the airflow through the cabinet. The fan has an axis of rotation perpendicular to a general flow direction of the airflow. A method of operating a fan coil unit includes flowing an airflow into a cabinet via an airflow inlet and through a fan. The fan is oriented such that a fan axis of rotation is perpendicular to a general flow direction of the airflow from the airflow inlet to an airflow outlet. The airflow is urged across a heat exchanger located in the cabinet, the heat exchanger conditioning the airflow and is output from the cabinet through the airflow outlet.
