Abstract
An indoor unit of an air conditioner in which filtered air is blown inside a steam generator via a humidification fan, and humidified air inside the steam generator is discharged to the side of a steam guide, where a sufficient flow may be supplied to the inside of the steam generator, such that the steam and the filtered air may be effectively mixed, thereby enabling the generation of humidified air. Since the humidification fan blows intake air into the steam generator so as to enable humidified air to flow, the humidified air may flow up to a discharge port even when an independent flow channel of the steam guide is long.
