Abstract
A drain pipe connected to a casing includes a water inlet opening and a couple of water outlet openings. The inlet opening is arranged at an upper end part of the drain pipe and is communicated to an internal space of the casing. The outlet openings are arranged at a lower end part of the drain pipe and extend laterally of the drain pipe in opposite directions, respectively. The drain pipe further includes a cylindrical outer wall that defines an interior space therein. The interior space communicates the water inlet opening with the water outlet openings. A partition wall is provided within the interior space of the cylindrical outer wall to divide at least a portion of the interior space of the cylindrical outer wall into two compartments. Each one of the water outlet openings is provided to each corresponding one of the compartments.
