Abstract
An array of hollow fibers including a plurality of hollow fibers of a predetermined diameter configured to receive a gas having oxygen therein and transfer the oxygen to a fluid and/or transfer carbon dioxide in the fluid to a gas. The array is configured in a predetermined pattern having a predetermined packing density that is a fraction of a total cross-sectional area of the array occupied by the hollow fibers.
Claims6
An array of hollow fibers comprising:
- a plurality of hollow fibers of a predetermined diameter configured to receive a gas having oxygen therein and transfer the oxygen to a fluid and/or transfer carbon dioxide from the fluid to the gas;
- and
- a plurality of headers having a plurality of recesses configured to receive the plurality of hollow fibers,
- wherein the plurality of headers is configured to align the plurality of hollow fibers in a predetermined regular pattern having a predetermined packing density that is a fraction of a total cross-sectional area of the array occupied by the hollow fibers, in which array the hollow fibers are aligned such that spacing between the hollow fibers is relatively constant along the length of the array.
