GAS SUPPLY SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240159359 titled 'GAS SUPPLY SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system for supplying a gas to a target from a gas-liquid mixture stored in a pressure vessel, utilizing a first line connected to the gas layer in the vessel, a second line connected to the liquid layer with a vaporizer, a valve, a pressure gauge, and a control device to regulate the gas supply based on pressure information.

  • Gas supply system from gas-liquid mixture in pressure vessel
  • First line connected to gas layer, second line to liquid layer with vaporizer
  • Valve and pressure gauge for control
  • Control device regulates gas supply based on pressure information

Potential Applications

The technology can be applied in industries requiring precise gas supply systems, such as pharmaceutical manufacturing, chemical processing, and food production.

Problems Solved

This system solves the problem of maintaining a consistent gas supply to a target by efficiently vaporizing the gas from a gas-liquid mixture stored in a pressure vessel.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved control over gas supply, increased efficiency in gas utilization, and reduced waste of gas resources.

Potential Commercial Applications

"Gas Supply System from Gas-Liquid Mixture in Pressure Vessel" can find commercial applications in industries like semiconductor manufacturing, research laboratories, and environmental monitoring.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be systems using separate gas and liquid supply lines, but without the integration of a vaporizer and control device for efficient gas supply regulation.

Unanswered Questions

How does the system handle variations in gas demand?

The patent application does not specify how the system adjusts to fluctuations in gas demand from the supply target. This aspect is crucial for understanding the system's adaptability in real-world applications.

What safety measures are in place to prevent gas leakage or pressure buildup?

The patent application does not detail the safety features incorporated into the system to mitigate risks of gas leakage or excessive pressure within the pressure vessel. Understanding these safety protocols is essential for assessing the system's reliability and compliance with industry standards.


Original Abstract Submitted

a system for supplying a gas to a supply target from a fluid of a gas-liquid mixture stored in a pressure vessel, comprising: a first line connected to a layer of the gas in the pressure vessel; a second line connected to a layer of the liquid in the pressure vessel and having a vaporizer in the middle and merging into the first line downstream of the vaporizer; a valve disposed between the pressure vessel and the vaporizer in the second line; a pressure gauge for obtaining a pressure in the pressure vessel; and a control device, wherein the control device receives pressure information from the pressure gauge and, when the internal pressure of the pressure vessel falls below a predetermined value, controls to open the valve and supply the vaporized gas in the vaporizer in the second line from the first line to the pressure vessel.
