冷却器5は、図示が省略された圧縮機、凝縮器、膨張弁等と共に冷媒回路を構成し、膨張弁で断熱膨張された冷媒を蒸発させることにより、そこを通過する空気を冷却するものである。また、放熱器6は、タンク8、ポンプ9および熱媒体加熱装置10とともに熱媒体循環回路10Aを構成し、熱媒体加熱装置10で高温に加熱された熱媒体(例えば、不凍液、温水等)がポンプ9を介して循環されることにより、そこを通過する空気を加温するものである。
熱媒体加熱装置10は、底面および上面が開口され、内部に仕切り壁12が設けられている四角形状をなすアルミダイキャスト製のケーシング11を備えている。このケーシング11の底面は、ネジ結合されるボトムプレート13によって密閉され、上面は、ネジ結合されるアッパプレート14によって密閉されるようになっている。
