15 Claims

1. 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 that bounds a first compartment and an opposing second end that bounds a second compartment, the first compartment being separated from the second compartment;

a first inlet port and a first outlet port being coupled with the flexible bag so as to communicate with the first compartment; and

a second inlet port and a second outlet port being coupled with the flexible bag so as to communicate with the second compartment, and

a fluid collection line having a first end and an opposing second end, the first end of the fluid collection line forking to form a first fluid line section that is fluid coupled with the first compartment and a second fluid line section that is fluid coupled with the second compartment;

wherein the first fluid line section forks to form a first collection port and a second collection port that are both fluid coupled with the first compartment.
