PURPOSE: A condensate water draining apparatus of an integrally assembled air conditioner is provided to improve heat exchange efficiency by transmitting condensate to an outdoor heater exchanger, to prevent dewing in the lower part of a base pan by supplying low temperature condensate from an air guide directly to a shroud, and to reduce assembling process by minimizing parts of the air conditioner. CONSTITUTION: A condensate water draining device is composed of an air guide(30) having a condensate channel(34) draining condensate water generated from an indoor heat exchanger; a drain guide(35) connected to the condensate channel of the air guide to drain condensate water; and a condensate guide(42) supplying condensate water drained from the drain guide to an outdoor heat exchanger. Low temperature condensate water is transmitted from the air guide to the outdoor heat exchanger without passing through a base pan. Heat exchange efficiency of the outdoor heat exchanger is improved, and dewing in the base pan is prevented with transmitting low temperature condensate water to the outdoor heat exchanger. Assembling process and the parts of the air conditioner are reduced by not installing additional thermal insulating members in the base pan.
