Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3598038A1] A heat pump apparatus includes an electrical unit (17) including an electrical part for driving at least one of a blower configured to blow air to an air-to-refrigerant heat exchanger and a compressor configured to compress a refrigerant. The electrical unit (17) includes an electrical circuit board (24) including an upper surface, a lower surface, and the electrical part mounted on the lower surface, a receiving tray (23) including a receiving portion (23a) that covers at least a part of the electrical circuit board (24) from below, a framework that holds the electrical circuit board (24) and the receiving tray (23), and an opening (30), which is formed between the framework and the receiving portion (23a) of the receiving tray (23) and through which air is capable of passing. A space between the electrical circuit board (24) and the receiving portion (23a) of the receiving tray (23) is an inner space (31) of the electrical unit (17). The inner space (31) of the electrical unit (17) communicates with outside of the electrical unit (17) via the opening (30).
