A fluid handling device that is adapted to heat or cool a first fluid flow, the device includes a thermal chamber adapted to heat or cool the first fluid flow in the thermal chamber; and an input channel which is adapted to channel the first fluid flow into the thermal chamber, an outlet channel which is adapted to channel a heated or cooled second fluid flow out of the thermal chamber, such that the thermal energy of the second fluid flow along the outlet channel is higher or lower than the thermal energy of the first fluid flow along the input channel. The outlet channel is thermally connected to the input channel, so that the outlet channel is adapted to transfer thermal energy between the heated or cooled second fluid flow along the outlet channel and the first fluid flow along the input channel to heat or cool the first fluid flow before entering the thermal chamber. |
