• a condenser installed in the machine room and in communication with the compressor;
• a nacelle duct installed in the machine room that cools the compressor and the condenser by blowing air, the nacelle duct having a central opening, wherein the condenser is positioned in the central opening;
• and
• a machine room case forming an outer wall of the machine room and including at least one inlet located at a bottom surface of the machine room case to face a lower portion of the nacelle duct, wherein the nacelle duct comprises:
• a blowing device having the central opening, the blowing device having an air flow path that functions as an internal path for air flow and a blow nozzle that discharges air;
• a fan mounting device connected to the blowing device at a lower portion of the nacelle duct and fixed on the bottom surface of the machine room case to correspond to the inlet of the machine room case;
• and
• a blowing fan installed in the fan mounting device to suck in external air and blow the sucked in external air toward the blowing device, wherein the fan mounting device comprises an external air inlet located to face the inlet of the machine room case to form a direct introduction path for the external air, the external air being used to cool the machine room.
