The cold condensed water collected in the second collecting space 312 flows to the upper end of the outdoor heat exchanger 320 through the falling hole 314. The condensed water dropped by the outdoor heat exchanger 320 is cooled by water cooling the hot refrigerant passing through the inside of the outdoor heat exchanger 320, and is collected into the upper surface of the base 130, that is, into the guide passage 132.

The condensed water collected into the guide passage 132 is collected by the water collecting unit 136 and then forced upward by the condensate pump 372. The condensed water forced upward by the condensate pump 372 is a guide hose. Guided by 374 is introduced into the first collecting space 152.

While repeating this process, the outdoor heat exchanger 320 is water-cooled with cold condensed water generated from the outer surface of the indoor heat exchanger 210.

In addition, even if the condensate pump 372 sends a large amount of condensed water to the first catchment space 152 by using the air conditioner 100 for a long time, the catch tank ( Since the water is collected at 350, condensate is prevented from overflowing the water collecting part 136.

The scope of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and many other modifications based on the present invention will be possible to those skilled in the art within the scope of the present invention.

In the air conditioner according to the present invention as described in detail above, the control box and the capacitor were concentrated in the first half of the interior and configured to be close to the operation unit.

Therefore, there is an advantage that the electrical wiring work is easy at the time of assembling the air conditioner, the productivity is improved.

In addition, there is an advantage that the manufacturing cost is reduced by minimizing the length of the wire that electrically connects the electrical component and the operation unit.

In addition, since disconnection is prevented due to the above reasons, safety accidents such as electric shocks are prevented in advance and product reliability is also expected.
