  • Publication number: 20250155157
    Abstract: A heat source unit includes: a bottom plate having a wave-like shape including a series of alternating ridge and groove portions; and a pair of support legs located at opposite end portions of the bottom plate, between which the ridge and groove portions extend, the pair of support legs being configured to support the opposite end portions. Each of the support legs has a support portion on which an end portion of the bottom plate is placed, and a wall portion extending upward from the support portion. On an upper surface of the support portion, a recessed portion is formed at a connection part of the wall portion and the support portion. The bottom plate is installed so that an end portion of the bottom plate, to which the ridge and groove portions extend, passes over the recessed portion and abuts against a wall surface of the wall portion.
