Abstract
An outdoor unit comprises a casing, a fan, a heat exchanger, an electrical component, a heat radiation member, and a duct. The casing is provided with an air outlet. The fan is disposed inside the casing and configured to blow air to the outside of the casing via the air outlet. The heat exchanger is disposed inside the casing at a position lower than the fan. The electrical component is disposed inside the casing at a position lower than the heat exchanger. The heat radiation member is connected to the electrical component inside the casing. The duct is configured to accommodate at least part of the heat radiation member inside the casing and extend in the vertical direction. An upper end of the duct is configured to protrude upward higher than a lower end of the heat exchanger.
