Abstract

An outdoor unit includes air blowers arranged in an upper part of a casing. First and second body recesses formed below first and second heat exchanger bodies of the casing and opening on sides of the casing are formed.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . An outdoor unit including
 a casing and   a heat exchanger body disposed so as to extend along a side of the casing and exposed to an outside of the casing,   in which a pointed part positioned on an outermost side of the casing is formed at a middle of the heat exchanger body as viewed in plane, and   air flows from the outside to the casing through the heat exchanger body, the outdoor unit comprising:   an air blower disposed in an upper part of the casing and configured to discharge the air from the casing to the outside,   wherein a body recess formed below the heat exchanger body of the casing and recessed inward relative to a side surface of the heat exchanger body is formed.   
     
     
         2 . The outdoor unit of  claim 1 , wherein
 the heat exchanger body includes first and second heat exchanger bodies each disposed so as to extend along a corresponding one of sides of the casing,   each of the first and second heat exchanger bodies includes first and second heat exchange parts linearly extending toward the outside of the casing such that an obtuse-angled pointed part positioned on the outermost side of the casing is formed at a middle of the each of the first and second heat exchanger bodies as viewed in the plane, and   the body recess includes first and second body recesses each formed below a corresponding one of the first and second heat exchanger bodies of the casing and recessed inward relative to a side surface of a corresponding one of the first and second heat exchanger bodies.   
     
     
         3 . The outdoor unit of  claim 2 , wherein
 each of the first and second body recesses includes first and second recesses each positioned below a corresponding one of the first and second heat exchange parts and each recessed inward relative to a side surface of a corresponding one of the first and second heat exchange parts, and   an air communication part allowing communication between a space formed by the first recess and a space formed by the second recess is formed.   
     
     
         4 . The outdoor unit of  claim 2 , wherein
 in the casing, a machine chamber in which a component is housed is formed on an inside of the first and second body recesses.   
     
     
         5 . The outdoor unit of  claim 2 , wherein
 the casing includes a reinforcement member which extends along the first or second heat exchanger body
 to support, from below, at least one of the first or second heat exchange part of the first or second heat exchanger body along which the reinforcement member extends and 
 to receive drainage water from the at least one of the first or second heat exchange part. 
   
     
     
         6 . The outdoor unit of  claim 2 , wherein
 the first and second heat exchange parts are connected to different refrigerant circuits to be operated independently of each other.   
     
     
         7 . A refrigerating apparatus comprising:
 the outdoor unit of  claim 1 .
