<p>PURPOSE:To reduce the cost of manufacture by reducing the number of parts, improve mounting strength of a protective mesh, and simplifying mounting work of the protective mesh. CONSTITUTION:There are provided a protective mesh 21 disposed on the outer surface side of a heat exchanger 2, a fixing part 22 formed integrally with the protective mesh 21, and an engagement holding part 23 which is formed into a circular arc shaped and recessed in the tip end of the fixing part 22 and which is resiliently fitted to a refrigerant pipe 19. Since the protective mesh 21 is integrally protruded on the fixing part 22, the number of parts is reduced, and even if external force is applied to the protective mesh 21, the fixing part 22 is not rotated and the protective mesh 21 is held. Additionally, upon mounting the protective mesh 21, the engagement holding part 23 is fitted into the refrigerant pipe 2a for completion of the mounting by only pressing the protective mesh to the heat exchanger 2 side.</p> |
