PURPOSE:To prevent a function of an air circuit component showing a thermal expansion from being decreased by a method wherein a specific fixing mechanism is arranged at the air circuit component fixing device receiving a thermal deformation of an air conditioner. CONSTITUTION:An external component 1 and side plates 12 of a heat pump type air conditioner are fastened to each other by screws 9a having steps. An air guiding member 8 formed with a longitudinal bore is held between the external component 1 and the side plates 12. At the opposite sides, the external component 1 and the air guiding member 8 as well as a side plate 11 are fastened by screws 9. Since the length of the step is the screw 9a is slightly longer than a thickness of the air guiding member 8, an expansion or a shrinkage of the air guiding member 8 is generated in reference to the side plate 11 and carried out at the side plates 12 limitlessly. An aeration circuit can be kept and a reduction of capability is not generated. With this arrangement, an expansion or shrinkage of the component is restricted to one side, resulting in that the structure can be simplified and a restriction for the fastening of screws is eliminated. |
