## Abstract

A heat exchange system of the invention includes at least multiple grids, a blower including an external rotor motor and a wind blade, an inner side wall, a shock absorbing pad, a compressor, and a box having multiple exhaust inlets. The exhaust inlets are disposed on the side of the box. The grids are disposed at an exhaust outlet of the box. The blower is disposed in the box and below the grid. The compressor is disposed on a bottom surface in the box. The blower is an external rotor axial fan, and the wind blade is disposed outside a rotor of the external rotor motor. The shock absorbing pad is disposed between the grids and the external rotor motor.
