Abstract:
Blades forming a turbofan included in an indoor unit each have, in a blade outer-circumferential surface of the blade and near a blade rear-edge portion, a plurality of rear-edge horizontal grooves extending horizontally (in a plane perpendicular to a center of rotation) with predetermined lengths L2 reaching the blade rear-edge portion. The rear-edge horizontal grooves are each a combination of a groove recessed portion provided with a predetermined depth in the blade outer-circumferential surface and a groove wrapping portion continuous with the groove recessed portion and provided at the terminal end of the blade rear-edge portion. The rear-edge horizontal grooves are provided in a region extending upward from the main plate defined by a distance H1 and in a region extending downward from the shroud defined by a distance H2.
