A fluid pressure regulation and conditioning module comprises a metal manifold including a fluid flow path between fluid inlet outlets, a pressure regulator assembled to the metal manifold and disposed along the fluid flow path for regulating the pressure of the fluid exiting the module, and a filter assembly. The metal manifold further includes, for heating of the metal manifold with an externally supplied heat exchange media, a heat exchange media flow path extending between heat exchange media inlet and outlet. The filter assembly includes a metal filter housing and a filter element contained within the metal filter housing, the metal filter housing being in direct thermal contact with the metal manifold whereby heat from the metal manifold can flow to the metal filter housing for heating of the fluid not only in the metal manifold but also within the metal filter housing.
