Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3521712A1] An outdoor unit (1) includes a heat exchanger (5), a blower fan (6), an electronic board (9) on which a heat-generating element (10) is mounted, a housing (2), and a heatsink (8). The housing (2) includes a partition plate (23) partitioning the inside of the housing into a heat exchanger chamber (H) in which the heat exchanger (5) and the blower fan (6) are placed and a machine chamber (M) in which the electronic board (9) and a compressor (7) are placed, and a portion of the partition plate (23) has an opening (232a). The heatsink (8) includes a main plate (81) placed to cover the opening (232a) from the heat-exchanger-room-(H) side of the partition plate (23) and heat-releasing fins (82) projecting from the main plate (81) to the blower fan-(23) side, and a portion of the main plate (81) comes into contact with the heat-generating element (10) via the opening (232a). The greater the amounts of heat transferred from the heat-generating element (10) the heat-releasing fins (82), the larger the heat-releasing fins (82).
