Abstract
A room air conditioner in which separate lateral air outlets are provided for returning chilled air to the room. A blower wheel is used to draw air into the air conditioner through the evaporator and a housing for the blower wheel has two volute openings that lead to separate connecting passages to the outlet openings. An easily removable filter is provided at the front panel of the air conditioner which does not require removal of the front panel for its removal. Also a highly effective exhaust air door is provided in at least one of the connecting passages for use in exhausting air from the room.
