Abstract:
1. A hose assembly comprising: a unitary flexible process fluid conveying conduit having an inner process fluid contacting surface defining a hollow conduit and an opposed outer surface; and a thermal fluid transfer tubing assembly spirally wrapped around the opposed outer surface of the unitary process fluid conveying conduit, the thermal fluid transfer tubing assembly in thermal communication with the unitary process fluid conveying conduit, wherein the thermal transfer tubing assembly is composed of a plurality of individual thermal transfer fluid tubes, wherein each individual thermal transfer tube comprises an inner surface and an outer surface and wherein a portion of the outer surface each individual thermal transfer fluid tube is in movable abutting contact with the outer surface of at least one other individual thermal transfer fluid tube adjacent thereto, wherein an additional portion of the outer surface each individual thermal process tube contacts the opposed outer surface of the unitary flexible process fluid convey conduit, and wherein the individual thermal transfer fluid tubes move relative to the unitary flexible process fluid conveying conduit as the unitary flexible process fluid conveying conduit bends; wherein the unitary flexible process fluid conveying conduit is centrally disposed relative to the thermal transfer tubing assembly.
