To provide a water droplet releasing device constructed to promote the scattering of water droplets and to prevent contact with water repellent processed faces, and to provide an air-conditioner mounted therewith.
The water droplet releasing device comprises a metal member 10 for producing condensed water droplets, a cooling means (a Pelletier element) 20 for cooling the metal member, and heat release fins 40. The metal member 10 has mutually opposed faces to which water repellent processing is applied with unevenness formation and chemical vapor deposition. A space between the water repellent processed faces is such that a finger cannot be inserted thereinto. The water repellent faces each have a water droplet contacting angle of 170 or larger. The metal member is formed in a rectangular pipe-like shape, in a U-shape with a one set of opposed faces, or in a comb-like shape with a plurality of plate materials inserted between the U-shape. This construction promotes the scattering of condensed water droplets from the water repellent processed faces of the metal member and prevents finger contact with the water repellent processed faces.
