An outdoor device for an air conditioner is provided. The outdoor device may include a case including a front panel that defines a front surface thereof and including a service panel, side panels that defines both sides thereof, and a rear panel that defines a rear surface thereof, an outdoor heat exchanger provided inside of the case, the outdoor heat exchanger having four heat exchange surfaces at positions corresponding to suction holes respectively defined in the front panel, the side panels, and the rear panel, a control box provided at a rear side of the service panel, the control box including an electronic case to accommodate an electronic component, and a mover provided at one side of the case to guide movement of the control box. The control box may be movable in a direction in which a space defined between the electronic case and the heat exchanger is increased in volume by the mover.

Outdoor device for an air conditioner

An outdoor unit for an air conditioner is provided. The outdoor unit includes a base disposed on lower portions of suction panels, the base having two long sides and two short sides, legs respectively disposed on lower portions of the two long sides of the base, a compressor and an outdoor heat exchanger disposed on an upper portion of the base, a refrigerant tube connecting the compressor and the outdoor heat exchanger to each other, a plurality of service valve assemblies connected to the refrigerant tube, and a plurality of connection tubes respectively connected to the plurality of service valve assemblies to extend downward from the base. The plurality of connection tubes are aligned at a first alignment position at which they extend toward the front of the base or a second alignment position at which they extend toward a side of the base.

Outdoor unit for air conditioner

An outdoor device for an air conditioner is provided. The outdoor device may include a cabinet, and a base provided on or at a lower portion of the cabinet. The base may include a base body, on which at least one first seat that supports a first component may be provided, an edge portion provided along a circumference of the base body and on which at least one second seat that supports a second component may be provided, and at least one connection portion that connects the at least one first seat to the at least one second seat.

An outdoor device for an air conditioner is provided. The outdoor device may include a cabinet, and a base provided at a lower portion of the cabinet. The base may include a base body, on which at least one first seat that supports at least one compressor may be provided, an edge portion disposed along a circumference of the base body and on which at least one second seat that supports a heat exchanger may be disposed, and one or more drain holes defined in the base body to guide discharge of liquid existing in or contained within the base. The at least one first seat and the at least one second seat may be integrated with each other.

An outdoor unit of an air conditioner according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a case; and a control box installed in the case, wherein a stepped portion protrudes from an upper surface of the control box, and a plurality of air outlet ports are formed at the stepped portion.

Outdoor unit of air conditioner

An outdoor device for an air conditioner is provided. The outdoor device may include a cabinet including at least one suction panel, a base provided at a lower portion of the cabinet, and a compressor and heat exchanger, which may be provided on the base. The base may include a base body, on which the compressor may be provided, an edge portion provided along a circumference of the base body, the edge portion including at least one seat that supports the heat exchanger, and a support guide provided on the edge portion to increase an area by which the heat exchanger may be supported.

An outdoor device for an air conditioner is provided that may include a compressor that compresses a refrigerant, a condenser that condenses the refrigerant compressed in the compressor, an expansion device that decompresses the refrigerant condensed in the condenser, an evaporator that evaporates the refrigerant decompressed in the expansion device, and a refrigerant storage that bypasses at least a portion of the refrigerant condensed in the condenser to store the bypassed refrigerant therein. The refrigerant storage may include a first storage that stores the bypassed refrigerant, and a second storage in which the refrigerant passing through the evaporator is introduced. The second storage may discharge a gaseous refrigerant of the introduced refrigerant to the compressor. The first storage may be provided above the second storage to supply the refrigerant stored therein into the second storage.
