摘要： A system for dispensing cryogenic liquid includes a container defining an interior with a partition dividing the interior into primary and reserve chambers. Cryogenic liquid within the primary chamber is separated from cryogenic liquid in the reserve chamber. The partition provides a headspace communication passage so that the headspaces of the primary and reserve chambers are in fluid communication with one another. A primary pressure building circuit has an inlet selectively in liquid communication with the primary chamber and an outlet in fluid communication with the headspaces of the primary and reserve chambers. A reserve pressure building circuit has an inlet selectively in liquid communication with the reserve chamber and an outlet in fluid communication with the headspaces of the primary and reserve chambers of the tank. An equalizing circuit is selectively in liquid communication with the primary and reserve chambers. A dispensing line is selectively in liquid communication with the primary chamber.

摘要： Gas supply systems and methods are described for delivery of gas to gas-utilizing process tools, e.g., gas-utilizing tools for manufacturing of semiconductor products, flat-panel displays, solar panels, etc. The gas supply systems may comprise gas cabinets that are arranged with adsorbent-based and/or interiorly pressure-regulated gas supply vessels therein, and a gas mixing manifold is described, which may be disposed in the gas cabinet or operated in a standalone fashion. In one aspect, gas supply systems are described in which vessels susceptible to cooling involving diminution of gas supply pressure are processed after pressure-controlled termination of dispensing operation, for dispensing operation achieving utilization of gas remaining in the vessel after such termination.

摘要： A cryogenic fluid delivery system includes a tank adapted to contain a supply of cryogenic liquid, with the tank including a head space adapted to contain a vapor above the cryogenic liquid stored in the tank. A liquid withdrawal line is adapted to communicate with cryogenic liquid stored in the tank. A vaporizer has an inlet that is in communication with the liquid withdrawal line and an outlet that is in communication with a vapor delivery line. A pressure building circuit is in communication with the vapor delivery line and the head space of the tank. The pressure building circuit includes a flow inducing device and a control system for activating the flow inducing device when a pressure within the head space of the tank drops below a predetermined minimum pressure and/or when other conditions exist.

摘要： A system for dispensing cryogenic liquid to a use point includes a bulk tank containing a supply of carbon dioxide or other cryogenic liquid and a pressure builder that is in communication with the tank via a pressure building valve. The pressure builder uses heat exchangers to vaporize a portion of the cryogenic liquid as needed to pressurize the bulk tank. The pressurized cryogenic liquid is dispensed through a dispensing line running from the bottom of the tank. A vent valve also vents vapor from the tank to control pressure. Operation of the vent and pressure building valves is automated by a controller that receives data from sensors. The controller determines the required saturation pressure for the tank and varies the tank pressure to match and provide a generally constant outlet pressure depending on conditions of the cryogenic liquid.

摘要： This fluid storage and transfer system includes a first storage tank and second storage tank configured to contain cryogenic liquids. The first storage tank has a heat exchanger. A second cryogenic liquid from the second storage tank subcools a first cryogenic liquid in the first storage tank and pressurizes the first storage tank. The first storage tank is then further pressurized using the heat exchanger. The first cryogenic fluid is transferred from the first storage tank to an end point. In an example, the first cryogenic fluid is liquefied natural gas and the second cryogenic fluid is liquid nitrogen.
