Fluid chamber thermal management system and/or method

A fluid chamber system for gas separation by a swing adsorption process, comprising:

• a chamber housing comprising a first and second port and defining a primary axis;
• a plurality of thermal management components affixed to the chamber housing and arranged within the chamber housing;
• an internal support structure, the internal support structure arranged within the chamber housing and forming a set of extended surfaces which are thermally coupled to the plurality of thermal management components, the internal support structure comprising:
• a plurality of baffles, each baffle defining a respective set of apertures that extend through a thickness of the baffle, wherein each adjacent pair of baffles of the plurality of baffles is configured to direct a combined axial-radial flow of an input gas relative to the primary axis, wherein each baffle of the plurality comprises a respective broad surface;
• and
• a set of internal support components in contact with and protruding from each baffle of the plurality of baffles at the respective broad surface of the baffle;
• and
• a capture medium arranged within a region bounded by the chamber housing, the plurality of thermal management components, and the plurality of baffles, wherein the capture medium thermally contacts both the internal support structure and the thermal management components.

A vehicle, comprising:

• an exhaust manifold fluidly coupled with an engine;
• and
• a fluid chamber system, comprising:
• a chamber housing mounted to the vehicle, the chamber housing comprising:
• a chamber wall, the chamber wall defining a primary axis, a first end, and a second end opposite the first end;
• a first port selectively connected to the exhaust manifold so as to receive exhaust gas in an adsorption configuration of a swing adsorption process;
• and
• a second port;
• a plurality of thermal management components comprising a plurality of tubes arranged within the chamber housing between the first and second ends;
• and
• an internal support structure arranged within the chamber housing, the internal support structure defining a set of extended surfaces, the internal support structure comprising a plurality of baffles, wherein each baffle:
• spans an interior of the chamber housing and structurally stiffens the chamber housing,
• contacts each of the tubes of the plurality of tubes at a respective tube exterior, and
• defines a plurality of flow apertures which extend through a baffle thickness;
• and
• a capture medium arranged within the interior, the capture medium bounded by the chamber wall, the plurality of thermal management components, and the internal support structure.
