That is, the compressor 10 is provided at the bottom in the machine room, and the evaporating dish 12 and the plurality of
The spiral capacitors 16 supported and fixed by (two in the embodiment) fixing devices 20 are sequentially arranged and arranged in a vertical type. In this case, each fixing device 20 is fixed and arranged in advance in an appropriate place in the machine room by using an appropriate fixing tool. The spiral condenser 16 has a radiating fin 18 spirally arranged (partially simplified in FIG. 4) on the outer periphery of a pipe 17 through which a refrigerant flows. The inner diameter is set to be substantially the same as the outer diameter of the radiation fin 18. Then, each extending portion (between the ears bent in an arc shape) of the spiral capacitor 16 extending in the lateral direction is held by the holding portion 24 of each fixing device 20. When the spiral capacitor 16 is fitted into the holding portion 24, as shown in FIGS.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the fixing device 20 is fixed and arranged in advance in an appropriate place in the machine room, with the opening of each holding portion 24 facing outward, using an appropriate fixing tool. In this state, the capacitors 16 are simply supported and fixed simply by fitting the respective extending portions of the spiral capacitor 16 into the holding portions 24 from the outside. Since the curved holding pieces 30 and 31 constituting each holding section 24 are formed with guide pieces 30a and 31a, the capacitor 1 is guided by using the two guide pieces 30a and 31a as guides.

After being fixedly supported, it is possible to reliably prevent a shift or the like from occurring due to an impact or vibration.

In the fixing device 20 of the embodiment, since the reinforcing ribs 28 are provided at the centers of the separated portions adjacent to the holding portions 24, deformation of the support plate 22 such as warpage or bending is surely prevented. Therefore, the support fixed state of the spiral capacitor 16 can be always stabilized.
