  • the pipes 12a and 12b may be pipes for flowing a working medium such as an absorption solution of an absorption refrigeration cycle or water of an adsorption refrigeration cycle.
  • the claws 51 and 52 are formed on the base portion 14, and the hooks 53 and 54 are formed on the cover portion 15.
  • a hook may be formed on the base portion 14 and a claw may be formed on the cover portion 15.
  • the locking mechanism 50 can be provided by variously shaped claws and hooks.
  • the two end tubes 12c and 12d are arranged in the vertical direction.
  • the two end tubes 12c and 12d only need to be aligned. They can be arranged in the left-right direction or diagonal direction.
  • the connecting direction of the base block 14b and the cover block 15b is also the left-right direction or the oblique direction.
  • the pedestal portion 20 is provided by the base end portion 21 and the cover end portion 22.
  • the pedestal portion 20 may be provided by three or more members.
  • the boundary between the plurality of members can be provided by various boundaries such as a straight line, an L type, a T type, an N type, and a W type.
  • the base recesses 31 and 32 and the cover recesses 33 and 34 are arranged and tightened directly on the outer periphery of the end tubes 12c and 12d.
  • the base recesses 31 and 32 and the cover recesses 33 and 34 may be arranged and tightened after the cushion material is wound around the outer periphery of the end pipes 12c and 12d.
