FIXING MECHANISM FOR ICING-PREVENTIVE THERMOSTAT THERMO- SENSITIVE SEGMENT IN AIR CONDITIONER

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fixing mechanism for icing-preventive thermostat thermo- sensitive segment in an air conditioner in which the extremity end of a capillary tube acting as a thermo-sensitive segment of an icing-preventive thermostat can be easily fixed under a state in which it is closely and positively fitted to fins of a cooling unit without using any exclusive fixing tool and the like. SOLUTION: There is provided an air conditioner comprised of a cooling unit, a blower and a thermostat for use in preventing any icing to prevent the cooling unit from being frozen. Some protrusion pieces 17 for supporting the thermo-sensitive segment are formed at a casing 1 of the blower defining one segment at the cooling unit chamber and the other segment at a condenser chamber in the air conditioner. The protrusion piece 17 for supporting the thermo-sensitive segment is formed with a groove 18 for fitting and supporting the extremity end of a thermostat thermo-sensitive segment 3 in such a way that it is closely contacted with a part of the fin 21 of the cooling unit.
