Abstract:
A gas panel comprising:a first manifold having an inlet and an outlet accessing a common surface of the first manifold, and a fluid passageway connecting the inlet of the first manifold to the outlet of the first manifold and defining from the inlet of the first manifold to the outlet of the first manifold a generally lateral first flow direction; a second manifold having an inlet and an outlet accessing a common surface of the second manifold, and a fluid passageway connecting the inlet of the second manifold to the outlet of the second manifold and defining from the inlet of the second manifold to the outlet of the second manifold a generally lateral second flow direction; and a bridging component having an inlet and an outlet accessing a common surface of the bridging component, and a fluid passageway connecting the inlet of the bridging component to the outlet of the bridging component and defining from the inlet of the bridging component to the outlet of the bridging component a generally lateral third flow direction; wherein the inlet of the bridging component is fluidly connected to the outlet of the first manifold and the outlet of the bridging component is fluidly connected to the inlet of the second manifold, and the third flow direction is generally transverse to the first flow direction.
