Abstract
A bag assembly for use with a heat exchanger includes a flexible bag having of one or more sheets of polymeric material, the bag having a first end that bounds a first compartment and an opposing second end that bounds a second compartment, a support structure being disposed between the first compartment and the second compartment so that the first compartment is separated and isolated from the second compartment. A first inlet port, a first outlet port, and a first drain port are coupled with the flexible bag so as to communicate with the first compartment. A second inlet port, a second outlet port, and a second drain port are coupled with the flexible bag so as to communicate with the second compartment.
Claims11
A bag assembly for use with a heat exchanger, the bag assembly comprising:
- a flexible bag comprised of one or more sheets of polymeric material, the bag having a first end and an opposing second that bounds a compartment, wherein the one or more sheets of polymeric material comprise a first sheet of polymeric film overlaying and secured to a second sheet of polymeric film so that the compartment is bounded between the first sheet and the second sheet;
- an inlet port and an outlet port, being coupled with the flexible bag so as to communicate with the compartment;
- and
- a first partition projecting into the first compartment between the inlet port and the outlet port so that fluid traveling between the inlet port and the outlet port must travel around the first partition.
