Abstract
A heat exchanger assembly includes a heat exchanger panel disposed at an inclined orientation. A fan assembly is disposed vertically above the heat exchanger panel and includes a fan impeller connected to a fan mount. The fan impeller is sized and positioned such that part of the fan impeller rotates vertically above the upper end of the heat exchanger panel. A casing has a plurality of inner walls for guiding air from the heat exchanger panel toward the fan assembly. The inner walls include a sloped wall. A distance between an upper end of the sloped wall and a fan rotation axis is greater than a distance between a lower end of the sloped wall and the fan rotation axis. The sloped wall is adjacent to the upper end of the heat exchanger panel such that the part of the fan impeller rotates vertically above the sloped wall.
