A system includes a high side heat exchanger, a flash tank, a compressor, and eight metal beams. Each of the metal beams extend in a linearly vertical direction. The eight metal beams define ten planar boundaries. The first, second, third, and fourth planar boundaries define a first space. The first, fifth, sixth, and seventh planar boundaries define a second space. The fifth, eighth, ninth, and tenth planar boundaries define a third space. The high side heat exchanger is contained entirely within the third space. The flash tank is contained entirely within the first space. The compressor is contained entirely within the second space.

A heat source unit for an air conditioner that includes a refrigerant circuit, the heat source unit includes: an external housing; and a cooling heat exchanger disposed in the external housing and that is connected to the refrigerant circuit. The external housing accommodates: a compressor connected to the refrigerant circuit; a heat source heat exchanger that is connected to the refrigerant circuit and that exchanges heat between a refrigerant circulating in the refrigerant circuit and a heat source; and an electric box. The electrical box: includes a top and a plurality of side walls; accommodates electrical components that control the air conditioner; and further includes an air passage that includes an air inlet and an air outlet. An air flow is induced through the air passage from the air inlet to the air outlet for cooling at least some of the electrical components.

An outdoor unit for an air-conditioning apparatus includes a housing; a compressor provided in the housing and configured to compress refrigerant; an outdoor heat exchanger provided in the housing and allowing refrigerant and air to exchange heat with each other; a partition plate provided in the housing and partitioning an inside of the housing into a fan chamber and a machine chamber in which the compressor is provided; an electronic component provided in the machine chamber; a refrigerant pipe provided in the machine chamber and connecting the compressor and the outdoor heat exchanger and disposed above the electronic component; a valve connected to the refrigerant pipe in the machine chamber and disposed above the electronic component; and a drip inhibiting portion that covers the refrigerant pipe and a lower part of the valve and inhibits water dripping from the refrigerant pipe from dripping onto the electronic component.
