Matrix arrangement

A matrix arrangement for heat transfer and/or cleaning a first fluid, the matrix arrangement comprising a sheet, the sheet defining a plurality of apertures for the flow of the first fluid therethrough, the arrangement being arranged for the flow of a second fluid over the sheet so that the first and second fluids cross one another for heat transfer and/or cleaning.

A matrix arrangement for heat transfer and/or cleaning a first fluid, the matrix arrangement comprising a sheet, the sheet defining a plurality of apertures for the flow of the first fluid therethrough, the arrangement being arranged for the flow of a second fluid over the sheet so that the first and second fluids cross one another for heat transfer and/or cleaning, the first fluid being a gas, the second fluid being a liquid, the arrangement including a plurality of sheets, the sheets defining at least one channel therebetween, along which the second fluid flows in use, the or each sheet comprising a mesh, the or each mesh comprising a plurality of elongate members, the elongate members engaging adjacent elongate members intermittently to define said apertures.

An assembly for heat transfer or cleaning, the assembly comprising a first pathway for a first fluid, a second pathway for a second fluid, wherein the first and second pathways cross each other at a fluid crossing region, the assembly including a fluid contact arrangement disposed at said fluid crossing region, the fluid contact arrangement allowing the first and second fluids to contact one another to effect heat transfer and/or cleaning, the fluid contact arrangement comprising a matrix arrangement, the matrix arrangement comprising a sheet, the sheet defining a plurality of apertures for the flow of the first fluid therethrough, the arrangement being arranged for the flow of a second fluid over the sheet so that the first and second fluids cross one another for heat transfer and/or cleaning, the first fluid being a gas, the second fluid being a liquid, the arrangement including a plurality of sheets, the sheets defining at least one channel therebetween, along which the second fluid flows in use, the or each sheet comprising a mesh, the or each mesh comprising a plurality of elongate members, the elongate members engaging adjacent elongate members intermittently to define said apertures.
