Turbo-fan for ceiling cassette type air conditioner doesn't operate in general volute. It is operated by porous material, heat exchanger. Heat exchanger increases resistance of air conditioning system and disturbs exit-flow of impeller. Therefore it has some influences on impeller capacity. In this study, we want to how that influence of exchanger on impeller capacity for ceiling cassette type air conditioner. To research, we made circular case that didn't have asymmetric part unlike rectangular case. With and without heat exchanger we measured total pressure and static pressure of impeller and three-dimensional rear flow field From the result, a turbo fan , installed in the 35mm back of fan and operated in heat exchanger, experienced $2{\%}{\~}5{\%}$% total pressure loss over all flow rate. With heat exchanger impeller efficiency decrease as flow rate decrease when flow rate coefficient was below 0.18. Especially when flow rate coefficient was below 0.12, there was $20{\%}{\~}30{\%}$ decrease of impeller efficiency.
