Abstract

A thermostat includes a compressor, a heat sink, a securing panel, a heat isolation panel, and an evaporator. The securing panel includes a securing panel body and an extending portion extending from the securing panel body, and the securing panel body loads the compressor and the heat sink. The heat isolation panel is secured to the extending portion and the heat isolation panel is substantially perpendicular to the securing panel body. The evaporator includes a side wall and an upper wall connected to the side wall. The upper wall defines an output opening; the side wall is substantially parallel to the heat isolation panel. The evaporator is secured to the heat isolation panel via a mounting member.

Claims
