Claim:
A fluid porting assembly comprising a process fluid passageway, a pliable seal, and a cooling fluid passageway, wherein: the process fluid passageway comprises a process fluid inlet and a process fluid outlet; the pliable seal is positioned in the vicinity of the process fluid outlet and is configured to define a sealing interface between the process fluid outlet and a fluid port of a microreactor; the cooling fluid passageway comprises a cooling fluid inlet and a cooling fluid outlet that terminates at a cooling fluid interface; the cooling fluid interface defined by the cooling fluid outlet is displaced from the sealing interface defined by the pliable seal to define a dispensing gap between the cooling fluid interface and the sealing interface; and the cooling fluid outlet is configured to distribute cooling fluid about a periphery of the pliable seal and to direct cooling fluid away from the periphery of the pliable seal through the dispensing gap.
