Abstract
The present invention reduces the size of an outdoor refrigerator unit of the type that draws in air from a lateral face, exchanges heat with the air, and blows the air out of a top face while ensuring that the electrical equipment box has sufficient volume and suppressing the increase in the air flow resistance. The air conditioning system outdoor unit is of the type that draws in air from air inlets provided in the rear panel and a pair of side panels of a casing, exchanges heat with the air, and blows the air out through an air outlet provided in a top panel. The outdoor unit is provided with an axial fan and an electrical equipment box arranged inside the casing. The electrical equipment box is arranged inside the casing and has a first box part that is provided below the axial fan and a second box part that is provided below the first box part and has a larger surface area in a plan view than the first box part.
