  • Patent number: 9447980
    Abstract: An outdoor unit of a refrigeration apparatus includes a heat exchanger, a casing constituent member and a seal member. The heat exchanger has plural collection header pipes, plural fins disposed at a predetermined fin pitch between the header pipes, and plural heat transfer tubes inserted through the fins and connected to the header pipes. An interstice larger than the fin pitch is formed between one of the header pipes and one of the fins adjacent to the one of the header pipes. The casing constituent member is disposed facing the one of the header pipes and is configured to surround part of the heat exchanger. The seal member is attached to the casing constituent member, is pressed against the one of the header pipes and the one of the fins in the environ of the interstice facing the casing constituent members, becomes deformed, and closes the interstice.

  • Publication number: 20150041101
    Abstract: An outdoor unit a refrigeration apparatus includes an aluminum or aluminum alloy heat exchanger, an aluminum or aluminum alloy bracket having a securing portion attached directly to the heat exchanger and a fixing portion with a through hole used to fix the bracket to a non-aluminum metal structural part, a non-metal component interposed between the fixing portion of the bracket and the structural part to create a non-contact state, a non-aluminum metal anchoring part, and an anchored structure cooperating with the anchoring part to fasten a fixing portion of the bracket to the structural part via the non-metal component. The anchoring part has an outer shape smaller than the through hole in the fixing portion. The non-metal component maintains, in astute in which the anchoring part is passing through the through hole in the fixing portion, a non-contact state between the bracket and the anchoring part.

  • Publication number: 20140374078
    Abstract: An outdoor unit of a refrigeration apparatus includes a heat exchanger constructed of aluminum or aluminum alloy, a floor frame supporting the heat exchanger, and a spacer disposed between the heat exchanger and the floor frame. The heat exchanger has a plurality of flat pipes, a header manifold connected to the flat pipes, and a plurality of fins joined to the flat pipes. Heat exchange occurs between a fluid flowing inside the flat pipes and air flowing outside the flat pipes. The spacer has an inclined surface and a horizontal surface. The inclined surface guides condensation from the heat exchanger to the floor frame. The horizontal surface contacts the heat exchanger and the heat exchanger is horizontally mounted on the horizontal surface.

  • Publication number: 20090079315
    Abstract: A reinforcing plate (50) is mounted on the bottom plate (33) of a box body (31) of an electrical component box (30). A plurality of risers (51, 52, 53) are formed by cutting a side edge of the reinforcing plate (50) into some pieces and bending the pieces upward. A safety cover (38) for opening and closing an opening of the box body (31) is fitted between the risers (51, 52, 53) and thereby held by the reinforcing plate (50).
