Abstract
An outdoor unit for a refrigeration cycle apparatus includes an outdoor heat exchanger arranged around an axis on an upstream side of an airflow with respect to a propeller fan. Further, the outdoor heat exchanger includes a first flat surface portion, a second flat surface portion, and a curved portion connecting the first and second flat surface portions to each other. An airflow directing plate is opposed to an end portion of the outdoor heat exchanger on the propeller fan side from the axis side of the propeller fan. The airflow directing plate is opposed to at least any one of the first flat surface portion and the second flat surface portion without being opposed to the curved portion.
