The air blower 130 sucks air outside the cabinet 110 into the cabinet 110 and flows through the dust collector 120 and the heat exchanger 140 to be discharged to the outside of the cabinet 110 . The air blowing device 130 includes a motor 132 generating a rotational force and a blowing fan 131 rotated by the motor 132.

열교환기(140)는 공기와 냉매를 열교환하여 공기를 냉각하거나 가열한다. 열교환기(140)에서 냉매가 증발하면 공기가 냉각되고, 냉매가 응축되면 공기가 가열된다. 열교환기(140)는 냉매가 유동하는 파이프(미도시)와 파이프에 결합되는 냉각핀(미도시)을 포함할 수 있다. 열교환기(140)는 금속재질로 형성된다.The heat exchanger 140 cools or heats the air by exchanging heat between the air and the refrigerant.

When the motor 132 rotates to rotate the blowing fan 131, the outside air is introduced into the cabinet 110 through the air intake part 116. The air that has flowed into the cabinet 110 passes through the dust collecting apparatus 120 to remove foreign matter. The air with the foreign matter removed moves to the heat exchanger 140 as the blowing fan 131 rotates. In the heat exchanger 140, the air is cooled or heated by heat exchange with the refrigerant. The heat-exchanged air is discharged to the outside of the cabinet 110 through the air discharge portion 115.
