  • the opening (aperture) area of the opening portion 65 is set to be larger than the total opening (aperture) area of the opening portions 66 and 67 formed in the side plate portions 62 and 63, so that the air flowing into the machine chamber 40 is not disturbed by the opening portion 65.
  • the air flowing into the machine chamber 40 through the opening portions 66 and 67 is smoothly discharged to the heat exchange chamber 39, and the resistance to air flow at the sites of the heat exchanger 21 which confront the side plate portions 62 and 63 can be suppressed from increasing, so that the amount of air passing through the heat exchanger 21 (the air flow rate) can be increased and thus the heat exchange efficiency of the whole heat exchanger 21 can be increased.
  • the opening portions 65 to 67 are formed so that the upper edge portions 65A to 67A thereof are lower than a power supply terminal 30A of the compressor 30. According to this construction, even when rain water intrudes into the machine chamber 40 through the opening portions 65 to 67, the rain water can be prevented from directly impinging against the power supply terminal 30A of the compressor 30.
  • the opening portion 65 through which the machine chamber 40 and the heat exchange chamber 39 intercommunicate with each other is formed between the back plate portion 60 and the upper surface of the bottom plate 12. Therefore, the parts disposed in the machine chamber 40 and the parts disposed in the heat exchange chamber 39 can be connected to one another through the opening portion 65 by pipe connection. According to this construction, the partition plate 38 can be detached while the pipe connection of these parts can be kept, so that the maintenance workability of the parts in the heat exchange chamber 39 can be particularly enhanced.
