Abstract
A heat exchanger assembly includes: a frame; a heat exchanger panel mounted to the frame and configured to exchange heat with air flowing therethrough, the heat exchanger panel being disposed at an inclined orientation; a fan assembly disposed vertically above the heat exchanger panel; and a sound dampening device disposed within an interior space of the heat exchanger assembly such that air is pulled into the interior space through the heat exchanger panel and then flows through the sound dampening device before being discharged from the heat exchanger assembly via the fan assembly. The sound dampening device includes baffle members having sound absorbing material and spaced apart from one another for allowing air flow therebetween. Each baffle member extends at an angle relative to a plane extending through the upper and lower ends of the heat exchanger panel so as to direct air flow upwardly toward the fan assembly.
