Fluid conditioning module

A method for conditioning a fluid through a fluid conditioning system, the fluid conditioning system including

• a first filter mount having a first filter inlet port and a first filter outlet port,
• a second filter mount having a second filter inlet port,
• a first motor,
• a first pump operatively coupled to the first motor via a first shaft, an outlet of the first pump being fluidly coupled to the first filter inlet port via a first filter inlet conduit that extends from the outlet of the first pump to the first filter inlet port and that does not include the second filter inlet port, such that the first filter inlet port receives a discharge pressure from the outlet of the first pump, an inlet of the first pump being fluidly coupled to the first filter outlet port via a first filter outlet conduit,
• a second pump, an inlet of the second pump being fluidly coupled to the first filter outlet port via the first filter outlet conduit, an outlet of the second pump being fluidly coupled to the second filter inlet port via a second filter inlet conduit that extends from the outlet of the second pump to the second filter inlet port and that does not include the first filter inlet port, the second filter inlet port being disposed downstream of the outlet of the second pump along a flow direction extending from the inlet of the second pump toward the outlet of the second pump, and
• a block defining the first filter mount and the second filter mount, the first pump being fastened to the block, the first filter inlet conduit being defined by the block,
• wherein the first filter outlet conduit is defined by the block,
• wherein the second pump is fastened to the block, and the second filter inlet conduit is defined by the block,
• wherein the first pump and the second pump are fastened to a first side of the block, and
• wherein the first filter inlet port and the second filter inlet port are defined by apertures through a second side of the block, the second side of the block being opposite the first side of the block,
• the method comprising:
• pumping a fluid flow through the first pump;
• filtering the fluid flow through a first filter mounted to the first filter mount;
• recirculating a first portion of the fluid flow through the first filter via the first pump;
• pumping a second portion of the fluid flow through the second pump, the second portion of the fluid flow being less than the first portion of the fluid flow;
• and
• filtering the second portion of the fluid flow through a second filter mounted to the second filter mount.
