Temperature characteristics of the heat exchanger. Heat Exchanger performance illustrates the relationship between the temperature of the tempering fluid (TTEMP) and the resulting outlet blood temperature (TBLOOD) at three different tempering fluid flow rates. Minimum blood temperature shows the minimum outlet blood temperatures (TTEMP) achieved experimentally as a function of blood flow rate (QBLOOD), again for three different flow rates of the tempering fluid.
