Thewater intake part 64 b may be configured such that both ends of thewater intake part 64 b are inclined upwardly, and in this case, theextension part 64 has a V shape. The condensed water formed around theelectronic expansion valve 80 is collected along a channel formed by thewater intake part 64 b and theguide part 64 a. - The second
side surface part 65 is connected with theextension part 64 and is inclined downwardly. Further, the protrudingpart 66 protruding toward thewater collector 90 is formed on the secondside surface part 65. The protrudingpart 66 may be inclined downwardly toward thewater collector 90. Thewater collector 90 is disposed below the protrudingpart 66, and the condensed water dropping from the protrudingpart 66 is received in thewater collector 90. -
FIG. 7 is a view illustrating a drain passage of condensed water in the indoor unit of the air conditioner in accordance with the embodiment. - Indoor air is inhaled into the
main body 20 through the suction holes 21 a by driving theair blower fan 41 while filtering out foreign substances from the indoor air. The inhaled air undergoes heat exchange via theindoor heat exchanger 30, and is discharged to the indoor space through thedischarge hole 21 b by theair blower fan 41. Here, condensed water formed around theindoor heat exchanger 30 is collected in thewater collector 90 which is disposed below theindoor heat exchanger 30, and is discharged to the outside of themain body 20 through thedrain hose 92. - As shown in
FIG. 7 , condensed water is also formed around theelectronic expansion valve 80 exposed to the indoor air. The condensed water is collected in the channel formed by thewater intake part 64 b and theguide part 64 a of theextension part 64 located below theelectronic expansion valve 80. The collected condensed water flows on the secondside surface part 65, and then drops down to thewater collector 90 from the protrudingpart 66. Therefore, the condensed water formed around theelectronic expansion valve 80 is not introduced into thecontrol unit 50 and the drivingmotor 42, and is discharged to the outside of themain body 20. - As is apparent from the above description, an indoor unit of an air conditioner in accordance with an embodiment reduces costs and a space required to install a separate electronic expansion valve, and simplifies an installation process of the electronic expansion valve.
- Further, although the electronic expansion valve is disposed in the indoor unit, an external size of the indoor unit is not increased and a capacity of a heat exchanger is not reduced to dispose the electronic expansion valve, thereby maintaining heat-exchanging efficiency of the indoor unit.
- Although a few embodiments have been shown and described, it would be appreciated by those skilled in the art that changes may be made in these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined in the claims and their equivalents.
