Abstract: A connection arrangement device for making a secure connection with at least one tube in a fluid line includes at least one adapter body having a passage bore with at least two outlets, and a mating block which is formed with at least one component and also has at least one channel receiving the adapter body. The adapter body includes a retention feature formed outside the adapter body and the mating block includes a mating feature formed inside the channel. Further, the retention feature of the adapter body is configured to interact with the mating feature of the mating block when the adapter body is coupled to the channel of the mating block such that the adapter body is securely retained within the channel of the mating block.

Abstract: A heating and cooling system for use with hot, cold and source fluid circuits. A conduit module couples a heating/cooling module with the fluid circuits. The conduit module includes four three-way valves to communicated fluid from and to the fluid circuits to first and second heat exchangers in the heating/cooling module. The first heat exchanger is used to heat a fluid flow and the second one chills a second fluid flow. The conduit module simultaneously supplies a hot fluid flow to a hot fluid circuit and a cold fluid to a cold fluid circuit. The source fluid is routed by the conduit module. A method of circulating fluid is also disclosed.
