An assembly that facilitates the use of modules requiring orthogonal airflow in a chassis providing normal airflow. Partitions within the housing direct ambient airflow from the front air inlet, through the modules, and out the rear air exhaust. The housing and partitions define first and second vertically and horizontally offset slots for receiving first and second orthogonal airflow modules, and also define separate first and second airflow pathways. The first airflow pathway provides airflow through a front air inlet, under the second module, orthogonally through the first module and out the rear air exhaust. Similarly, the second airflow pathway provides airflow through a front air inlet, over the first module, orthogonally through the second module and out the rear air exhaust. Both airflow pathways both draw ambient air into the housing and exhaust warm air from the rear of the housing, while keeping the two airflow pathways separated.

An apparatus and method for treating a moving substrate of indefinite length. The apparatus has a control surface positioned in close proximity to a surface of the substrate to define a control gap between the substrate and the control surface. A first chamber is positioned near the control surface, with the first chamber having a gas introduction device. A second chamber is positioned near the control surface, the second chamber having a gas withdrawal device. The control surface and the chambers together define a region wherein the adjacent gas phases possess an amount of mass. Upon inducement of at least a portion of the mass within the region, the mass flow is controlled to significantly reduce dilution of the gas phase component in the adjacent gas phase. This is accomplished through the introduction of a controlled gas stream thereby reducing the flow of an uncontrolled ambient gas stream due to pressure gradients in the system.
