Summary:PURPOSE:To absorb vibrations generating at the time of starting or operating an internal combustion engine by a method wherein the internal combustion engine is brought into contact with a heat medium housed in a canister and the engine is supported flexibly by an upper cover of the canister and springs. CONSTITUTION:When the internal combustion engine 3 is stated, a compressor 10 is driven to thereby operate a cooling circuit 14 comprising a condenser 21, an expansion valve 20 and an evaporator 19. As the engine 3 and the compressor 10 are held by the resilient upper cover 11, the horizontal spring and the vertical spring, the vibrations generating due to the operation of the engine can be absorbed. Further, it is made possible to prevent noises from the engine 3 by bringing the engine 3 into contact with the heat medium 1 and by causing the canister 2 and its upper cover 11 to have soundproof and sound absorbing properties.
