Abstract
The invention relates to a device for exchanging thermal energy with ambient air, comprising at least one heat exchanger () through which an air flow can flow and which is assigned an axial fan () for conveying the air flow through the heat exchanger and an outflow housing () receiving the air flow, wherein the outflow housing has an air outlet opening () for discharging the air flow into the environment. In order to develop the device in such a way that the outflow of the axial fan () can be deflected transverse to the outlet direction of the axial fan with minimal flow losses, according to the invention, the outflow housing () forms an air-receiving space () axially offset to an impeller wheel () and a motor () of the axial fan (), which receives the conveyed air flow over the entire cross-section of the impeller wheel () and the motor () and is penetrated by the fan rotational axis (), and wherein the outflow housing covers the impeller wheel () and the motor () when viewed from the rear and is designed and configured to supply the conveyed air flow to the air outlet opening () with a directional component tangential to a swirling movement imposed on the air flow by the axial fan.
