  • Publication number: 20230203970
    Abstract: A fluid storage tank can be configured to store a cooling fluid in a liquid state and a gas state. A first heat exchanger can be configured to release heat into the fluid storage tank. A second heat exchanger can be disposed fluidly downstream of the fluid storage tank and configured to exchange heat between the cooling fluid and a heat load. A pressure control device can be disposed fluidly downstream of the second heat exchanger. One of the first cooling fluid that has been heated by the second heat exchanger or a second cooling fluid different than the first cooling fluid can pass through the first heat exchanger and thereby heat upstream first cooling fluid resident in the fluid storage tank.

  • Publication number: 20230149626
    Abstract: An IV set includes an IV component and a duration monitor device coupled to the IV component. The duration monitor device may include an indicator portion configured to change color after a determined amount of time upon activation of the indicator portion, or an RFID tag configured to be detected by an RFID reader. The duration monitor is configured to provide an indication of passage of a useful-life time period for the IV set or the IV component. Methods of operating a duration monitor device are also provided.

A second heat exchanger can be disposed fluidly downstream of the fluid storage tank and configured to exchange heat between the cooling fluid and a heat load. A pressure control device can be disposed fluidly downstream of the second heat exchanger. The first heat exchanger can be fluidly downstream of the second heat exchanger such that cooling fluid, after being heated in the second heat exchanger, passes through the first heat exchanger and thereby heats upstream cooling fluid resident in the fluid storage tank.
