Gas/fluid mass exchange apparatus

摘要

A gas/fluid mass exchange apparatus comprises a gas permeable membrane which is arranged to separate a first region for receiving a gas flow, from a second region for receiving a fluid flow. The apparatus further comprises support means which is arranged to maintain the shape and orientation of the membrane. The support means may be a wire and provide tension for the membrane. Also claimed is a gas/fluid mass exchange apparatus that comprises a plurality of gas permeable flow ducts in a spaced relation with respect to each other. The flow ducts may be uncoupled from each other. The flow ducts may be tubular.
