Abstract
A heat exchanger unit that includes a frame and an at least one cooler coupled therewith. The heat exchanger unit has a reference axis. The heat exchanger unit includes an airflow region therein. The heat exchanger unit includes an at least one baffle coupled to the frame within the airflow region. The at least one baffle is configured at an angle to the axis.
Claims20
A heat exchanger unit, comprising:
- an axis;
- a frame;
- an at least one cooler coupled with the frame;
- a fan coupled to the frame;
- an airflow region within the heat exchanger unit;
- and
- a first set of baffles coupled to the frame within the airflow region, an at least one baffle of the first set of baffles oriented at a first angle to the axis,
- wherein a mid-point of an at least one of the first set of baffles is positioned approximately a multiple of a quarter wavelength below the fan, the quarter wavelength being calculated based on a dominant acoustic frequency generated by the fan.

A heat exchanger unit, comprising:
- an axis;
- a frame;
- an at least one cooler coupled with the frame, the at least one cooler having an outer surface and an inner surface;
- a fan coupled to the frame;
- and
- a first set of baffles coupled with the frame, at least one baffle of the first set of baffles oriented at a first angle to the axis,
- wherein the first set of baffles are positioned approximately a multiple of a quarter wavelength below the fan, the quarter wavelength being calculated based on a dominant acoustic frequency generated by the fan.
4 more elements
A heat exchanger unit, comprising:
- an axis;
- a frame comprising a top region, a bottom region, and a plurality of side regions;
- a plurality of coolers, each of the plurality of coolers coupled with the frame proximate to a respective side region of the plurality of side regions;
- a fan;
- and
- a first set of baffles, an at least one baffle of the first set of baffles configured at a first angle to the axis, and comprising a sound absorbing material,
- wherein at least a portion of the at least one baffle of the first set of baffles is proximately positioned a multiple of a quarter wavelength below the fan, the quarter wavelength being calculated based on a dominant acoustic frequency generated by the fan during operation.
