| 174 | Fluidizable Bed, Method of Heat Management therefor and a Fluid Management System | US13950399 | 2013-07-25 | US20140033428A1 | 2014-02-06 | Frank Sauser; Kristopher Klink; Nicole Johannigman |
| A fluid management system comprises an impeller module which discharges fluid to a fluid destination, a motor module, and a coolant flowpath which services the motor module and exhausts coolant to a coolant destination different from the fluid destination. A fluidizable bed comprises impeller and motor modules, a fluidizable medium, and a fluid conditioning system. The fluid conditioning system is a fluid destination for fluid discharged from the impeller module and also conveys the discharged fluid to the fluidizable medium. A coolant flowpath for the motor module exhausts coolant to a coolant destination which differs from the fluid destination. A method of heat management comprises directing a stream of fluidizing medium to the fluidizable medium, urging a stream of coolant to flow past the motor, and proportioning the coolant stream downstream of the motor between first and second coolant destinations as a function of temperature of the fluidizable medium. | ||||||
