PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To shield a clearance between a heat exchanger and a cabinet by a method wherein a plurality of thin ribs integrally molded with a cabinet at an upper part of this cabinet are formed into such a shape as contacts the upper end of the heat exchanger. SOLUTION: A plurality of thin ribs 11 integrally molded with a cabinet 10 are formed at an upper part of the cabinet 10 of die structure which may easily be molded by polypropylene resin. End surfaces of these ribs 11 are contacted with a heat exchanger 20 and each of ribs 11 is deformed along the shape of the heat exchanger 20 at its contacting part. In addition, each of the ribs 11 is set to have a suitable length and a pitch in compliance with an arrangement and a shape of the heat exchanger 20. With such an arrangement as above, since a clearance between the heat exchanger 20 and the cabinet 10 can be shielded, it is possible to prevent wet air not passing through the heat exchanger 20 from being contacted with a once-through fan 50 at the upper part of the cabinet 10 during cooling operation, the air from being changed into dew formation and further water droplets from being dispersed. |
