Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent a bulging deformation caused by a difference in temperature at a front surface and a rear surface of a front panel by a method wherein the front panel is arranged at the front surface side of a heat exchanger and a plurality of cuts are formed at a lower surface and a position where it may not be seen from outside. CONSTITUTION:In order to eliminate a phenomenon of a principle of a bi-metal caused by a temperature difference between a front surface and a rear surface of a front panel 1, a length of a part generating a phenomenon of a bi-metal, i.e., a shape of a lower end part of the front panel 1 is shortened and a semi-circular cut 1a for thinning its thickness is provided. With such an arrangement, it is possible to eliminate a phenomenon of bi-metal caused by a temperature difference of the front panel 1 and further to prevent a bulging deformation of the front panel 1.

When the air conditioner is operated for heating, the temperature of the heat exchanger 2 rises, and the warm air inside is sent out by the fan 4 through the wind circuit inside the frame main body 3, and the outside air becomes warm, causing the front The surface temperature of panel 1 also rises and becomes warmer. However, if the defrosting operation starts during the heating operation, the indoor heat exchanger 2 becomes cold, the fan 4 stops, and the air inside the main body 3 stops moving. As a result, main body 3
Inside, the cold air on the surface of the heat exchanger 2 flows into the front panel l.
When the back side (inside the main body) of the front panel 1 is cooled and the temperature difference between the warm front side of the front panel 1 and the cold back side of the front panel 1 becomes large, the front panel 1 expands and deforms to the front side due to the bimetal principle. happens.
