Abstract
An outdoor unit of an air conditioner includes a housing, a fan inside the housing and configured to cause air to flow and a machine room inside the housing at one side of the fan. A first partition inside the housing includes an inlet hole through which air flow from the fan enters the machine room. A second partition inside the housing, between the fan and the machine room, includes an outlet hole through which air in the machine room is sucked toward the fan. A fan guard is in front of the fan and includes an opening portion on one side of the fan guard that is positioned toward the first partition such that the air flow from the fan moves toward the machine room. A front cover, in front of the first partition, is configured to guide air having passed through the opening portion of the fan guide to the inlet hole of the first partition.
