- thermoelectric cooling device includes a solid-state method of heat transfer through dissimilar semiconductor materials. Thermoelectric cooling is referred to as "the Peltier Effect," after Peltier, an experimental physicist who discovered the phenomenon in 1834. If a current is passed through a thermocouple, heat is absorbed (or removed) at one junction and is evolved at the other junction of the thermocouple. If the first junction is in a closed region, the first region will be cooled.
- thermoelectric Peltier module (TE Technology, Inc., Traverse City, Michigan) to power a disposable bioreactor condenser and filter heater.
- a thermoelectric Peltier module operates to cool one surface of the module, and the heat removed from the cooled side is transferred to the other hot side of the thermoelectric module.
- both the heated side and the cooled side of the thermoelectric Peltier module are used.
- the cooled side of the Peltier module provides the cooling for the condenser function of the invention, while the heated side of the Peltier module can be used to assist in heating of a filter.
- thermoelectric Peltier cooling module In most commonly seen applications using a thermoelectric Peltier cooling module, the heat generated on the heated side of the thermoelectric Peltier module is conducted away from the system as waste heat and is not used. With a slight modification of the disclosed system, that heat can be used for heating a filter.
- Heating the filter tends to convert any condensed water droplets into the vapor phase so that the condensate does not clog the filter.
- the condenser container is a single use, flexible, nonporous bag comprising a flexible polyethylene material or film.
- the condenser container in most of the embodiments described herein is referred to as a "bag” or a “condenser bag” or a “flexible bag.”
- other embodiments of the invention may include a rigid or a semi-rigid container instead of a flexible bag.
- the condenser bag may comprise two sides as in what is known as a "two-dimensional bag,” or it may be a three-dimensional bag or have any other suitable shape and size.
- the condenser bag may have fitments attached to it.
- the term "fitment” as used herein refers to a separate object that is heat-welded to the flexible bag film in order to attach it.
- a fitment often comprises a polymeric material which can be the same or similar to the polymeric material comprising the wall of the flexible bag.
- a fitment is often a more dense material than the wall of the flexible bag, and may be added to the bag to enable a functionality.
- a non-limiting example of a fitment is one that forms a port.
- a port is added to the wall of the condenser bag in order to allow gas to enter.
- a port is added to the wall of the condenser bag to allow gas to leave the condenser bag.

- a condenser bag according to an embodiment of the invention can have a plurality of fitments and ports, The embodiment depicted in FIG 1 A does not have any structure within the bag to promote turbulence or condensation.
- FIG. 1 B is a schematic drawing of a perspective view of a disposable bioreactor condenser bag 30 according to an embodiment of the invention.
- the mesh 26 disposed within the condenser bag 30 is visible through the top surface 32 of the bag film.
- Two fitments 22, 24 are shown on the outer wall of condenser bag 30.
- fitment 22 is used for forming an inlet port for moist gas and fitment 24 is used for forming an outlet port for dried gas.
- fitment 22 can be used to form an outlet and fitment 24 an inlet.
- the condenser bag 30 is disposable.
- the condenser bag 30 is used in conjunction with a cooling source to lower the temperature of a moist gas stream going to or coming from a bioreactor such that condensation of moisture entrained within the gas occurs within the condenser bag 30.
- This condenser bag 30 can be used to reduce the moisture content of the moist gas before it is passed on to a filter or other system component where moisture and/or condensation may be detrimental to the functioning of the filter or other system component.
- the disposable condenser bag 30 forms a closed volume that has at least one inlet fitment 22 to allow for a moist gas to be flowed into the condenser bag 30 from a bioreactor or from another gas source, and at least one outlet fitment 24 to allow for the passage of the dry gas stream out of the condenser bag 30.
- the condenser bag 30 may include an internal arrangement of a biocompatible material such as mesh 26 within the closed volume that will promote the condensation of moisture from the gas passing through the condenser bag 30, and also increase the turbulence within the gas stream as it passes through the condenser bag.
- the mesh 26 or other biocompatible material is pleated to provide increased contact of the moist gas stream with the mesh such that it substantially completely fills the gap between the two inner layers of the condenser bag 30.
- the structure arranged to allow condensation to form thereon, and/or to increase turbulence is a series of fins attached to a support.
- the structure arranged to allow condensation to form thereon comprises a spiral coil. Any structure within the bag that can promote turbulence and/or promote condensation is within the scope of the invention.
- Non-limiting examples of materials suitable for forming the structure for promoting condensation within the condenser bag 30 include polyethylene, polypropylene, polyester, polyamide, and a metal.
- At least one surface of the condenser bag 30 is in contact with an external cooling source, for example, a cold plate, which by conduction cools at least one surface, for example top surface 32 of the condenser bag 30, which in turn cools the inside surface of the bag 30 and cools the moist gas stream to or below its dew point temperature as the gas flows over the cooled surface.
- an external cooling source for example, a cold plate, which by conduction cools at least one surface, for example top surface 32 of the condenser bag 30, which in turn cools the inside surface of the bag 30 and cools the moist gas stream to or below its dew point temperature as the gas flows over the cooled surface.
- FIG. 2 is a schematic drawing of a perspective view of a system 40 according to an embodiment of the invention for condensing moisture in a gas stream entering or leaving a bioreactor.
- the disposable bioreactor condenser system 40 which may include a filter heater system according to an embodiment of the invention, comprises several major functional components.
- the components of the system include the disposable bioreactor condenser bag 30, a cold plate, a thermoelectric Peltier module with associated controller, a cold plate/condenser bag holder or frame 46, 48, and a filter heater enclosure (not shown).
- the system 40 as shown includes a condenser bag front frame holder 46 and a condenser bag back frame holder 48, the frame forming a sandwich with the condenser bag 30 held firmly against a cold plate.
- the cold plate (not shown) is positioned on surface 44 of the back frame holder 48.
- a cold plate appropriately sized to
- the condensate generated within the condenser bag 30 can be drained from the bag continually or periodically.
- the condensate that collects within the condenser bag 30 may be drained through an inlet port fitment 22.
- a separate fitment for example, a hose barb (not shown) attached to a surface of the condenser bag specifically for draining the condensate.
- the hose barb may be used for attaching and securing tubing to collect condensate for either a gravity flow of the condensate or a pumping of the condensate from the interior chamber of the condenser bag and back into the bioreactor. This recycling of the liquid water may be utilized to maintain constant volume of the liquid and constant osmolarity within the bioreactor.
- the condensate may be sent to another storage device as required by the bioreactor process being used or it may be discarded.
- thermoelectric Peltier module generates heat that can provide or assist in the heating of a filter to keep its temperature above the dew point temperature of the gas that is flowing through the filter.
- a suitable enclosure or ducting structure can be devised and attached to the hot side of the thermoelectric Peltier module to allow the heat generated to be directed to the filter in such a manner as to heat or assist in the heating of the filter.
- the heat may be actively directed to the filter by use of a fan or may be passively directed to the filter using convection, or a suitable combination of the two methods may be used.
- the relatively large cross-sectional area of a condenser bag increases the residence time of the moist gas within the condenser container as compared to the residence time of a moist gas in a prior art system using a pathway of ducts. This is because the velocity of the gas stream is increased in a narrowed passageway such as a long duct.
- a mesh or other biocompatible material inside the large cross sectional area of the bag to enhance condensation, we achieved similar or improved results at a much lower cost than that of a system with extensive ductwork.
- the mesh increases turbulent flow within the bag which ensures that the moist gas comes into contact with the cooled sidewalls of the condenser bag at some point in its passage through the condenser bag, instead of just flowing straight through the center of the condenser bag.
- cooled condensate droplets become trapped on the screen material and these droplets will assist in causing even more moisture to condense out of the moist gas.
- the mesh helps increase the surface area on which condensation can occur.
- Prior art condensers generally include both a cooling zone and a heating zone within the condenser unit. That coupling of the condensing function of the unit with a heating function within the same assembly reduces the flexibility of allowing the two functions to be manipulated independently of each other. Prior art condensers generally remove heat from the exhaust gas and then just allow the heat to dissipate into the environment. [0042] In the disclosed condenser bag, those two functions, cooling and heating, are separate. The heating zone is not a part of the disclosed condenser bag. A disclosed embodiment includes the concept, for example, of taking the heat that is removed from the exhaust gas and using it to heat another component, such as the exhaust filter.
