Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an air conditioner outdoor unit in which an operating-valve bracket is installed on a baseplate of the outdoor unit.
  • an operating-valve bracket that is provided with operating valves to which refrigerant pipes are connected is installed inside a machine chamber in the outdoor unit so as to be exposed to the outside from a side panel.
  • this operating-valve bracket is fixed to a flange portion that is provided on the periphery of a baseplate of the outdoor unit so as to extend vertically upward.
  • the operating-valve bracket is installed such that the operating valves are exposed to the outside from the side panel.
  • two valves are vertically arranged in a slanted direction, and a gas-side refrigerant pipe and a liquid-side refrigerant pipe that are connected to an indoor unit can be connected to these operating valves.
  • the operating valves and the outer surface of the operating-valve bracket are covered with a service cover (also referred to as side cover) that is detachably attached to a side panel of the outdoor unit.
  • the gas-side operating valve and the liquid-side operating valve are provided on the operating-valve bracket.
  • the operating-valve bracket When a low-pressure refrigerant is circulated through the operating valves, the operating-valve bracket is cooled together with the operating valves, and dew condensation water is produced on the surfaces thereof.
  • the dew condensation water flows downward along the surface of the operating-valve bracket and, in some cases, splashes or leaks out from a portion where the operating-valve bracket is installed to the outside of the baseplate beyond the flange portion provided at the periphery of the base plate, whereas the dew condensation water flowing downward should normally be recovered in the baseplate with the flange portion which extends upward at the periphery thereof.
  • the present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide an air conditioner outdoor unit capable of reliably recovering, in the baseplate, dew condensation water that is produced through dew condensation on the surfaces of the operating-valve bracket and on the operating valves and that flows downward on the surfaces.
