First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1 . A refrigeration cycle apparatus comprising: a housing having a bottom member; a plurality of compressors accommodated in the housing, the plurality of compressors at least including a first compressor and a second compressor, the first compressor being supported by a first intermediate plate through a first elastic member, the second compressor being supported by a second intermediate plate through the first elastic member, and the first intermediate plate and the second intermediate plate being supported by the bottom member through a plurality of second elastic members, wherein the first compressor is not supported by the second intermediate plate, and the second compressor is not supported by the first intermediate plate, and the plurality of second elastic members are positioned outward with respect to the first elastic member of each compressor, wherein the second elastic members are positioned at a greater distance from the center of each compressor than the first elastic member of said compressor in a plan view. 2 . The refrigeration cycle apparatus of claim 1 , wherein at least one refrigerant circuit component parts constituting a refrigerant circuit is provided on at least one of the first intermediate plate or the second intermediate plate. 3 . The refrigeration cycle apparatus of claim 2 , wherein at least one of the refrigerant circuit component parts is provided on the first intermediate plate, in a case an overall weight of the first intermediate plate and the first compressor has a greater overall weight than the second intermediate plate and the second compressor. 4 . The refrigeration cycle apparatus of claim 2 , wherein at least one of the refrigerant circuit component parts is provided on the first intermediate plate, in a case an overall weight of the first intermediate plate and the first compressor has a smaller overall weight than the second intermediate plate and the second compressor. 5 . The refrigeration cycle apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a refrigerant circuit component part constituting a refrigerant circuit is provided on each of the first intermediate plate and the second intermediate plate. 6 . The refrigeration cycle apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first compressor and the second compressor are connected with each other via a pipe with flexibility.
