US 2014/0124178 A1 · RE-CORABLE COAXIAL HOSE SYSTEM

Abstract

Abstract: The Re-Corable Coaxial Hose System allows temperature control to be added around material-carrying tubing in both new and existing dispensing systems. The jacketing system seals around the material-carrying tube and allows a thermal transfer fluid to be circulated in the resulting annular space so as to change the temperature of the material being dispensed. Because the system is comprised of a series of tubing and hoses it is flexible and can be routed around corners and through wire tracks and can be used in both manual and robotic applications. Because the seals around the material-carrying tube can be released and subsequently re-sealed, the internal material-carrying tube can be replaced, defined as “re-coring” the hose assembly.

Dependent claims

Thermal fluid transfer hose system comprising:

at least one outer hose jacket member having a first end and an opposed second end and an interior channel located therebetween;
and
at least one block assembly, the block assembly defining a central shaft extending therethough, the block assembly in fluid tight connection to either the first or second end of the outer hose jacket member such that the central shaft defined in the block assembly and the interior channel defined in the outer jacket hose are in coaxial engagement with one another, wherein the outer hose jacket and the at least one block assembly are configured to receive a process fluid conveying conduit therethrough and to define and annual region between an outer wall of the process fluid conduit and the inner wall of the outer hose jacket member.
