Abstract
A flexible conduit assembly that includes a central fluid transfer conduit and at least two thermal fluid transfer conduits in overlying relationship to the central fluid transfer conduit at an orientation other than linear relative to the center axis of the central fluid transfer conduit. The flexible conduit assembly may also include an outer jacket concentrically disposed relative to the central fluid transfer conduit with the fluid transfer conduit interposed between the central fluid conveying conduit and the outer jacket.
Claims13
A hose assembly comprising:
- a process fluid conveying conduit having an inner process fluid contacting surface and an opposed outer surface;
- and
- a thermal fluid transfer tubing assembly spirally wrapped around the opposed outer surface of the process fluid conveying conduit in thermal communication with the process fluid conveying conduit, the thermal transfer tubing assembly composed of a plurality of individual thermal transfer fluid conduits.
A flexible hose assembly comprising:
- a flexible polymeric process fluid conveying conduit having an inner process fluid contacting surface and an opposed outer surface;
- a thermal fluid transfer tubing assembly spirally wrapped around the opposed outer surface of the process fluid conveying conduit in thermal communication with the process fluid conveying conduit, the thermal transfer tubing assembly composed of a plurality of individual thermally conductive polymeric thermal transfer fluid conduits, wherein the plurality of individual thermal transfer fluid conduits are each in longitudinal abutting relationship with two other thermal transfer tubes when the thermal transfer tubing assembly is in the spiral wrapped position;
- at least one jacket member concentrically disposed around the spirally wrapped thermal transfer tubing assembly;
- and
- at least one insulation layer interposed between the jacket member and the spirally wrapped thermal fluid transfer conduits.
