なった時に、バイメタルの原理で、前面パネル１の表側
に膨らんで変形する現象が起る。When the air conditioner is operated for heating, the temperature of the heat exchanger 2 rises and the warm air inside the fan 4 causes the underframe body 3 to move.
The air is sent to the outside through the internal wind circuit, the outside air becomes warm, and the surface temperature of the front panel 1 also rises and becomes warm. However, when the defrosting operation is performed during the heating operation, the indoor heat exchanger 2 becomes cold, the fan 4 stops, and the air inside the main body 3 does not move. As a result, the cold air inside the main body 3 and on the surface of the heat exchanger 2 cools the rear surface side (inside the main body side) of the front panel 1, and the temperature difference between the warm front surface side and the cold rear surface side of the front panel 1 becomes. When the size of the front panel 1 increases, the phenomenon of swelling and deformation on the front side of the front panel 1 occurs due to the principle of bimetal.
