Abstract:
A method of establishing a fluid path between a fluid temperature regulation unit whereby the temperature of a fluid is regulated and a heat exchange conduit wherethrough the temperature regulated fluid is circulated and eventually returned to said temperature regulation unit, comprising the steps of:mounting an interface means to a given location at a wall of said temperature regulation unit for establishing a path whereby said fluid can traverse from and to said unit;mating a connector having attached thereto said heat exchange conduit to said interface means for establishing a closed circuit for the flow of said fluid between said temperature regulation unit and said heat exchange conduit bysuperposing said connector over said interface means,engaging said connector to said interface means, androtating said connector coplanarly with said interface means to sealingly mate said connector to said interface means.
