Abstract
A heat exchanger system includes a heat exchanger coil circulating a first heat transfer fluid therethrough, and a fan at least partially surrounded by the heat exchanger coil to urge a flow of air through the heat exchanger coil to dissipate thermal energy from the first heat transfer fluid. A brushless direct current fan motor is located the fan to urge rotation of the fan and an ancillary electrical component operably connected to the heat exchanger system and electrically isolated from the first heat transfer fluid.
Claims21
A heat exchanger system comprising:
- a heat exchanger coil circulating a heat transfer fluid therethrough;
- a fan at least partially surrounded by the heat exchanger coil to cause a flow of air through the heat exchanger coil to exchange thermal energy from the heat transfer fluid to the flow of air;
- a brushless direct current fan motor disposed at the fan to urge rotation of the fan;
- and
- an ancillary electrical component operably connected to the heat exchanger system and electrically isolated from the heat transfer fluid.
