  • Publication number: 20240151414
    Abstract: An air-conditioning apparatus includes a heat source side unit including a compressor, a load side unit including a load side heat exchanger, a fan provided in the load side unit, an air direction adjuster that is provided in the load side unit and that adjusts an air direction, and a controller that controls the compressor, the fan, and the air direction adjuster.
