OUTDOOR UNIT FOR AN AIR-CONDITIONING DEVICE

摘要

Provided is an outdoor unit for an air-conditioning apparatus, including a heat exchanger having heat exchanger cores stacked in a plurality of stages in a vertical direction of the outdoor unit. Each of the heat exchanger cores includes: a plurality of fins arranged in parallel to each other at intervals therebetween; and heat transfer tubes provided to extend through the fins, through which refrigerant is caused to flow. Each of the fins of the heat exchanger includes a deformable portion configured to be deformable by impacts applied to the deformable portion, which is formed at a position where the fins of the upper one of the heat exchanger cores from among the vertically-adjacent heat exchanger cores comes into contact with the fins of the lower one of the heat exchanger cores from among the vertically-adjacent heat exchanger cores.

1. An outdoor unit for an air-conditioning apparatus, the outdoor unit comprising a heat exchanger having heat exchanger cores stacked in a plurality of stages in a vertical direction of the outdoor unit,
each of the heat exchanger cores including
a plurality of fins arranged in parallel to each other at intervals therebetween; andheat transfer tubes provided to extend through the plurality of fins, each of the heat transfer tubes allowing refrigerant to flow therethrough, each of the plurality of fins of the heat exchanger including a deformable portion configured to be deformable by impacts applied to the deformable portion, the deformable portion being formed at a position where the plurality of fins of an upper one of the heat exchanger cores adjacent to each other in the vertical direction of the outdoor unit come into contact with the plurality of fins of a lower one of the heat exchanger cores adjacent to each other in the vertical direction of the outdoor unit.
