Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an outdoor unit of an air-conditioning apparatus, and a method for manufacturing the same.
  • a heat exchanger is disposed on a back surface and a side surface, and a fan is further disposed on an upper surface.
  • fins for radiating heat transferred from circular tubes or flat tubes are vertically skewered to the circular tubes or the flat tubes through which refrigerant moves.
  • a distance between the bottom plate and a tube disposed on a lowermost column (hereinafter, referred to as a "lowermost column tube”) among the tubes for allowing the refrigerant to flow into the heat exchanger is short.
  • dew condensation water formed by condensing moisture containing air heat-exchanged by the heat exchanger sometimes stays between the lowermost column tube and the bottom plate.
  • the staying dew condensation water causes the corrosion of the lowermost column tube. Additionally, when the staying dew condensation water is frozen, the volume of the dew condensation water is expanded, which causes the breakage and the damage of the lowermost column tube. Additionally, in a case where the lowermost column tube and the bottom plate are made of different kinds of materials, dissimilar metal corrosion (galvanic corrosion) is likely to be generated.
  • connection tubes for supplying the refrigerant to the heat exchanger or connection tubes such as U-bend tubes for mutually connecting a plurality of the tubes of the heat exchanger are connected by brazing.
  • the brazing parts sometimes swell compared to the diameters of the tubes, and a distance between the bottom plate and the tube is further reduced. Therefore, the above problem is more remarkable.

  • the plurality of louver-like cut-raised parts are provided in the bottom plate, and therefore the opening area of the bottom plate increases. Therefore, there is a problem that air flowing into the outdoor unit flows out from openings of the bottom plate, the air volume of air passing through the heat exchanger reduces, and heat exchange performance lowers. Additionally, the opening area of the bottom plate is large, and therefore there is a possibility that a small animal, snow, or the like are inclined to invade therein through the openings of the bottom plate.
  • the heat exchanger In the outdoor unit of the air-conditioning apparatus, when the heat exchanger is disposed on the bottom plate, the heat exchanger is disposed at a desired position, and therefore a member for positioning the heat exchanger (positioning member) is required.
