Abstract
Sound-attenuating heat exchangers and methods of exchanging heat and attenuating sound within sound-attenuating heat exchangers. The sound-attenuating heat exchangers include a base region, which defines a first base side and a second base side, and a plurality of elongate fluid conduits, which are at least partially defined by the base region and configured to contain a cooled fluid stream. The sound-attenuating heat exchangers also include a plurality of heat transfer-enhancing structures, which extend from the first base side and are configured to exchange thermal energy with a cooling fluid stream, and a sound-attenuating region, which extends from the second base side. The sound-attenuating region includes a plurality of resonator cells configured to attenuate sound and a plurality of resonator cell openings. Each resonator cell opening opens from a corresponding resonator cell toward the plurality of heat transfer-enhancing structures. The methods include methods of operating the sound-attenuating heat exchanger.
