Patent number: 11946667Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate generally to noise suppression vertical curtain apparatus for heat exchanger units. In one implementation, a heat exchanger unit includes a frame having a plurality of side regions and at least one cooler associated with at least one of the plurality of side regions. The heat exchanger unit also includes a vertical axis, an internal volume, a floor, and a fan disposed above the floor to move air through the internal volume. The heat exchanger unit also includes a first set of panels disposed between the floor and the fan, and a vertical curtain disposed between the first set of panels and the fan.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2019Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: FORUM US, INC.Inventors: John Gaska, Hamid Reza Zareie Rajani, Jonathan Penner, Kevin Visscher

Patent number: 10520220Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure pertain to a heat exchanger unit that includes a frame and at least one cooler. The cooler is associated with a respective side region of the heat exchanger unit, and the cooler has an outer surface and an inner surface. The unit can include a mount assembly for coupling the cooler to the frame. The mount assembly includes an elongated fastening member; a rigid outer ring; a rigid inner ring; and a deformable ring disposed between the rigid outer ring and the inner outer ring. The cooler may have a core end mass greater than a tank end mass.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2017Date of Patent: December 31, 2019Assignee: FORUM US, INC.Inventors: Derek Hjorth, John Gaska, Randy Vanberg, Kevin Visscher, Iqbal Lotey, Bob Peng
