A fluid flow plate assembly may include a first manifold, a second manifold, a first flow channel, and a second flow channel. The first manifold may have a fluid inlet for receiving an incoming fluid and may extend along a first direction to provide a channel for transporting the incoming fluid along the first direction. The first manifold may have at least two distribution outlets, each located in at least a portion of a sidewall region of the first manifold. The first manifold releases at least one portion of the incoming fluid as a released fluid through each distribution outlet. The second manifold may have a fluid outlet for discharging a discharged fluid, and the discharged fluid includes at least one portion of the incoming fluid. The second manifold may extend along a second direction to provide a channel for transporting the discharged fluid along the second direction. The second manifold receives the discharged fluid through at least two discharged fluid inlets on the second manifold. The first and second flow channels are coupled between the first manifold and the second manifold through distribution outlets and discharged fluid inlets. The second flow channel is parallel to the first flow channel with a dividing wall between the first and second flow channels.

A fluid flow plate assembly may include a first manifold, a second manifold, and at least one fluid flow channel coupled between the first manifold and the second manifold. The first manifold has a fluid inlet for receiving an incoming fluid and extends along a first direction to provide a channel for transporting the incoming fluid partially along the first direction. The first manifold has at least one distribution outlet in at least a portion of a sidewall region of the first manifold and releases at least one portion of the incoming fluid as a released fluid through the at least one distribution outlet. The second manifold has a fluid outlet for discharging a discharged fluid, the discharged fluid comprising at least one portion of the incoming fluid and extends along a second direction to provide a channel for transporting the discharged fluid partially along the second direction. The at least one fluid flow channel is coupled between at least one of the at least one distribution outlet and at least one of the at least one discharged fluid inlet for distributing at least one portion of the released fluid. The at least one fluid flow channel has multiple channel sections extending in at least two directions and extending substantially along a fluid distribution plane. Both the first and second directions are substantially parallel with the fluid distribution plane.
