Abstract (en)

[origin: US2022026160A1] A dual path heat exchanger integrated as a single unit able to process fluid stream through a continuous, single-use high temperature short time process. The heat exchanger contains both a heating section and a cooling section in the same unit. In one embodiment, the heating and cooling sections (which may be formed separately for other uses) are formed as a plate and frame structure with a thermally conductive thin film or foil forming the physical barrier between the process stream flow path and the thermal medium (heating or cooling) flow path. The film/foil renders the heat exchanger suitable for single-use and/or to be disposable. A manifold, which also may be formed as a single unit, may be used to transfer fluid flow between the sections of the heat exchanger, and/or to transfer fluid into and out of the system formed by the heat exchanger and manifold.
