One of the functions of the air conditioner is to filter

Verify that the lateral and upper openings on the
cabinet are free on the outside, without any
obstruction, to assure proper air movement on
the compressor and the condenser; this is of

refrigeration system and to avoid problems that
will otherwise arise with possibility of damaging
the compressor. For this purpose, walls that
excessively thick should not be left as in Fig. 12,
but should be chamfer outside to allow proper
air movement, as shown in Fig. 13.
