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.

Abstract: An air conditioner may provide a a fan housing assembly that moves in the front-rear direction by the operation of an actuator, and the fan housing assembly moves so as to pass through a front outlet arranged on a door assembly to be in a projected state, and the front end of the fan housing assembly protrudes further to the front than the front surface of the door assembly; and through the projected state, may provide conditioned air by a direct air flow to a long-distance target region. The configuration may enable the minimization of interference between the discharged air and the door assembly, and the minimization of flow loss of the discharged air since, when the fan housing assembly is in the projected state, a steering grill is in a state of protruding to the outside of the door assembly by passing through the front outlet.

Abstract: The present invention includes a blower sucking and blowing air; a plurality of cylindrical air discharging units, each having an air discharging flow path through which the air blown by the blower passes and discharges, the plurality of air discharging units respectively having rotational center axes parallel with each other; and an air discharging unit rotating mechanism rotating each of the plurality of air discharging units, with the respective rotational center axes of the air discharging units kept in position. The plurality of air discharging units arranged in parallel with each other may distributively discharge air in multiple directions. A distributed air discharge mode in which the plurality of air discharging units discharge air in different directions and a front intensive air discharge mode in which the plurality of air discharging units discharge air in a front direction may be chosen by the user, responding to the user's demand that the air flow be concentrated in the front direction while enabling efficient indoor air conditioning.
