The outdoor integrated wall-mounted air conditioner having the above structure has the following problems.

1. Even outside the room, since the air conditioner is attached to the wall surface, the appearance of the house is impaired, and the air conditioner protruding from the wall surface obstructs the cleaning and repair of the wall surface.

2. Since the indoor and outdoor heat exchangers and blowers are installed in the depth direction of the air conditioner, the center of gravity of the air conditioner itself moves away from the wall surface that is the mounting surface because the thickness of the air conditioner main body becomes thicker. Therefore, although not shown in the drawing, it is necessary to make the strength and wall strength of the mounting member for mounting the air conditioner strong.

[0008]

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems and to obtain new effects.

That is, a compressor, a blower, a heat exchanger, a pressure reducer, and other parts constituting an air conditioner in a wall body having a width direction of 1100 mm or less, a height direction of 2800 mm or less, and a thickness direction of 200 mm or less.
