On the acoustic effects of sonic crystals in heat exchanger arrangements

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Heat exchangers can be found in a large number of technical systems and installations. They are usually operated in combination with other machines, such as axial fans, in order to remove or supply heat to a system. The heat exchanger can influence the existing flow field and thus lead to increased noise emission from fans located downstream of the heat exchanger. This can be observed, for example, in air conditioning units in which axial fans operate in combination with heat exchangers. Even though this mechanism is known, it is not yet understood how the heat exchanger affects the sound propagation of the sound produced by the downstream machine. For example, the heat exchanger may lead to a change in directional characteristics or specific frequencies may be attenuated. In order to better understand the interaction of the heat exchanger with the sound field, sound power measurements were carried out on various heat exchangers and the sound propagation was simulated numerically. It was shown that the sound attenuation due to the interaction with the periodic tube array is detectable in heat exchangers and that this leads to a sound reduction at the Bragg frequency. Based on its filling factor, the heat exchanger can reduce the sound propagation in certain frequency bands by up to 10 dB if the geometrirical properties are selected suitably. The simulations of a single unit cell confirm in very good agreement with the experimental results. This allows the conclusion that the approach presented in this paper is a cost-effective way to model acoustic effects of heat exchangers. Furthermore, sound attenuation effects by the heat exchanger were caused by thermoviscous effects on the cooling fins and dimensions of the heat exchanger housing.
