Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A bottom frame ( 50 ) which constitutes a bottom surface of a casing ( 40 ) is divided into a main bottom frame ( 51 ) where a first compressor ( 11 ) is to be provided and a sub bottom frame ( 55 ) where a second compressor ( 21 ) is to be provided. The main bottom frame ( 51 ) is further divided into a first bottom frame ( 52 ) and a second bottom frame ( 53 ). The first compressor ( 11 ) is to be provided on the first bottom frame ( 52 ). A refrigerant circuit component ( 47 ) to be replaced or added in accordance with a capability or a function is to be provided on the second bottom frame ( 53 ).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A heat source unit comprising a casing in which a first compressor and a second compressor are to be provided, wherein a bottom frame which constitutes a bottom surface of the casing is divided into a main bottom frame where the first compressor is to be provided and a subsidiary bottom frame where the second compressor is to be provided, and the main bottom frame is divided into a right frame and a left frame when viewed from a front side of the casing, wherein one of the right frame and the left frame is a first bottom frame where the first compressor is to be provided, and the other of the right frame and the left frame is a second bottom frame where a refrigerant circuit component is to be provided, wherein a first heat-source-side heat exchanger is provided on the first and second bottom frames of the main bottom frame and a second heat-source-side heat exchanger is provided on the subsidiary bottom frame. 2. The heat source unit of claim 1 , wherein the second bottom frame has a smaller thickness than the first bottom frame. 3. The heat source unit of claim 1 , wherein the second bottom frame has a smaller thickness than the first bottom frame. 4. The heat source unit of claim 1 , wherein the right frames and left frames are corrugated plates having peaks and valleys extending in a front-to-back direction of the casing when viewed from the front side of the casing.
