Abstract
In one embodiment, there is provided a heat exchanger for equipment, having: at least one phase change material; and at least one heat exchange interface for heat exchange between the phase change material and a fluid flowing within, into and/or from a replaceable fluid container for the equipment, the replaceable fluid container having at least one fluid port adapted to couple to a fluid circulation system of the equipment when the replaceable container is coupled to a dock.
Claims20
A heat exchanger for equipment including a dock, comprising:
- at least one phase change material;
- and
- at least one heat exchange interface for heat exchange between the phase change material and a fluid flowing within, into or from a replaceable fluid container for the equipment, the replaceable fluid container comprising at least one fluid port adapted to couple to and be in fluidic communication with a fluid path of a fluid circulation system of the equipment when the replaceable fluid container is coupled to the dock of the equipment, wherein the phase change material and the heat exchange interface are located, at least partly, in the dock.
An apparatus comprising a heat exchanger the heat exchanger comprising:
- at least one phase change material;
- and
- at least one heat exchange interface for heat exchange between the phase change material and a fluid flowing within, into or from a replaceable fluid container for equipment, the replaceable fluid container comprising at least one fluid port adapted to couple to and be in fluidic communication with a fluid path of a fluid circulation system of the equipment when the replaceable fluid container is coupled to a dock of the equipment, wherein the phase change material and the heat exchange interface are located, at least partly, in the dock.
A heat exchanger for a vehicle including a dock, comprising:
- at least one phase change material;
- and
- at least one heat exchange interface for heat exchange between the phase change material and a fluid flowing within, into or from a replaceable fluid container for the equipment, the replaceable fluid container comprising at least one fluid port adapted to couple to and be in fluidic communication with a fluid path of a fluid circulation system of the equipment when the replaceable fluid container is coupled to the dock of the vehicle, wherein the phase change material and the heat exchange interface are located, at least partly, in the dock.
