Abstract (en)
A sensor disposed in a lower portion of a case may get wet with water to have trouble. An outdoor unit 90 is an outdoor unit 90 of a heat pump cycle apparatus. The outdoor unit 90 includes a bottom frame 93, a plate-shaped member 94, a compressor 12, a first heat exchanger 16, a refrigerant circuit, and a refrigerant sensor 70. The plate-shaped member 94 is disposed above the bottom frame 93 to be spaced apart from the bottom frame 93. The compressor 12 is mounted on the plate-shaped member 94 to be supported by the bottom frame 93 with the plate-shaped member 94 being interposed therebetween. The compressor 12 compresses a refrigerant. The first heat exchanger 16 causes heat exchange between the refrigerant and air. The refrigerant circuit connects, by means of a pipe, the compressor 12 and the first heat exchanger 16. The refrigerant sensor 70 detects the refrigerant to find refrigerant leakage. The refrigerant sensor 70 is disposed on the plate-shaped member 94.
