After the condensate enters the central pipe 4, it will also flow in the mounting pipe 5, and the mounting pipe 5 allows the condensate to enter the side pipes 3. Since the temperature of the condensate is usually lower than the outside temperature, when the condensate flows in the central pipe 4, the mounting pipe 5, and the side pipes 3, the condensate will absorb the heat on the air conditioner outdoor unit body 1 to cool the air conditioner outdoor unit body 1, thereby preventing the temperature of the air conditioner outdoor unit body 1 from being too high in a high-temperature environment and affecting the normal use of the air conditioner.
