Abstract
A housing for configuring a compact heat exchanger module includes separate fluid flow conduits integrally formed on at least one wall thereof and connected to at least one inlet and at least one outlet of at least one heat exchanger disposed within the housing. The separate fluid flow conduits configures at least a part of the heat exchange circuit that facilitates passage of fluid cooled/heated by the at least one heat exchanger through at least one region to be cooled/heated to extract/reject heat there-from/thereto and return heated/cooled fluid back to the at least one heat exchanger for cooling/heating thereof.
Claims16
A housing comprising:
- at least one heat exchanger;
- and
- separate fluid flow conduits integrally formed on at least one wall thereof and configured to be connected to at least one inlet and at least one outlet of the at least one heat exchanger disposed within the housing,
- wherein the separate fluid flow conduits configure at least a part of a heat exchange circuit to receive heat exchange fluid from the at least one heat exchanger and deliver the heat exchange fluid to the at least one heat exchanger.
A compact heat exchanger module comprising:
- a housing comprising:
- at least one heat exchanger, and
- separate fluid flow conduits integrally formed on at least one wall thereof and configured to be connected to at least one inlet and at least one outlet of the at least one heat exchanger disposed within the housing,
- wherein the separate fluid flow conduits configure at least a part of a heat exchange circuit to receive heat exchange fluid from the at least one heat exchanger and deliver the heat exchange fluid to the at least one heat exchanger;
- and
- at least one pump configured to be connected to and in fluid communication with at least one of the fluid flow conduits to configure and regulate fluid flow through the heat exchange circuit of which the fluid flow conduits are part of.
A compact fluid processing module comprising:
- a housing configured to receive at least one fluid processing element that is configured with at least one inlet and the at least one outlet;
- separate fluid flow conduits integrally formed on at least one wall of the housing and configured to be connected to the at least one inlet and the at least one out let of the at least one fluid processing element respectively;
- at least one pump configured to be connected to and in fluid communication with at least one of the fluid flow conduits to configure and regulate fluid flow through a fluid processing circuit of which the fluid flow conduits are part of.
