OUTDOOR UNIT OF AIR CONDITIONER

摘要

The present invention serves to reduce interference between the refrigerant pipes connected to the gas-side and liquid-side shut-off valves of the outdoor unit of an air conditioning system both in cases in which the refrigerant communication pipes are drawn out from the shut-off valves in a direction parallel to the depth dimension of the outdoor unit and in cases in which the refrigerant communication pipes are drawn out from the shut-off valves in a direction parallel to the width dimension of the outdoor unit. The outdoor unit is connected to indoor units by a gaseous refrigerant communication pipe (17a) and a liquid refrigerant communication pipe (17b) and is provided with a gas-side shut-off valve (18) and a liquid-side shut-off valve (19). The gas-side shut-off valve (18) has a pipe connecting port (18a) to which the gaseous refrigerant communication pipe (17a) is connected. The liquid-side shut-off valve (19) has a pipe connecting port (19a) to which the liquid refrigerant communication pipe (17b) is connected. In a plan view, the pipe connecting ports (18a, 19a) are offset from each other in both the depthwise direction and the widthwise direction.
