CONDENSER SYSTEMS FOR FLUID PROCESSING SYSTEMS
First Claim
1. A condenser bag comprising:
- a body bounding a channel that extends between an inlet opening at a first end and an outlet opening and an opposing second end, the body being comprised of a polymeric film; and
an intake port secured to the body at the inlet opening and bounding a port opening that extends therethrough and communicates with the channel; and
a tubular transfer line having a first end coupled with the body so as to communicate with the channel at a first location located between the inlet opening and the outlet opening and an opposing second end coupled with either the intake port so as to communicate with the port opening therein or with the body so as to communicate with the channel at a second location located between the intake port and the first location.

Abstract
A condenser bag includes a body bounding a channel that extends between an inlet opening at a first end and an outlet opening and an opposing second end, the body being comprised of a polymeric film. An intake port is secured to the body at the inlet opening and bounds an port opening that extends therethrough and communicates with the channel. A tubular transfer line has a first end coupled with the body so as to communicate with the channel at a first location located between the inlet opening and the outlet opening and an opposing second end coupled with either the intake port so as to communicate with the port opening therein or with the body so as to communicate with the channel at a second location located between the intake port and the first location.

14. A system for mixing a liquid solution or suspension comprising:
-
(a) a container assembly comprising; a collapsible bag bounding a compartment and having an upper end and an opposing lower end, the collapsible bag being comprised of a polymeric film and being adapted to hold a fluid; a sparger disposed at the lower end of the collapsible bag for delivering a gas into the compartment of the collapsible bag; an exhaust port secured to the upper end of the collapsible bag and bounding a port opening that extends therethrough and communicates with the compartment of the collapsible bag; and (b) a condenser bag comprising; a body bounding a channel that extends between an inlet opening at a first end and an outlet opening and an opposing second end, the body being comprised of a polymeric film; and an intake port secured to the body at the inlet opening and bounding an port opening that extends therethrough and communicates with the channel, the intake port of the condenser bag being coupled with the exhaust port on the collapsible bag so that at least a portion of the body of the condenser bag is disposed at an elevation above the upper end of the collapsible bag. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A method for processing a fluid, the method comprising:
-
sparging a fluid located within a compartment a container with a gas to form a humid gas; passing the humid gas from the compartment of the container to a channel of a condenser bag, the condenser bag being comprised of a polymeric film and being at least partially disposed at an elevation above the container; and cooling the humid gas within the channel of the condenser bag so that at least a portion of the humid gas condenses into a liquid that collects within the condenser bag, thereby forming a dehumidified gas. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22)
