Abstract
Inside a blown-out air duct in the air conditioner through which conditioned air reaches a blowing-out port, there is provided a rectifying box having a air passage therein, for rectifying a flow of the conditioned air toward a predetermined flowing direction in order to prevent any dew condensation at the blowing-out port in the air conditioner. In the meantime, in order to suppress noise, rectifying plates for reducing an inflowing angle of air flowing into the fin tips of a heat exchanger are interposed between an axial fan and the heat exchanger for taking in the air from the axial fan for heat exchanging.
