An integrated heat exchanger and muffler unit (50,120,140) is provided for
transferring heat between a first fluid and a second fluid, and for
muffling the noise of the first fluid. The unit includes a housing (52)
including a first inlet (60) for the first fluid, a first outlet (62) for
the first fluid, a second inlet (64) for the second fluid, and a second
outlet (66) for the second fluid. The unit (50,120,140) further includes
a resonator (76) in the housing (52) and connected between the first
inlet and outlet (60,62) to muffle noise in the first fluid, and a heat
exchanger core (11,122) in the housing (52) connected to the first and
second inlets and outlets to transfer heat between the first and second
fluids. In one embodiment, the heat exchanger core surrounds the
resonator. In another embodiment, the resonator surrounds the heat
exchanger core.
