Abstract
Example implementations relate to liquid adsorption. In an example, a liquid adsorption system includes a vapor barrier container having a sealable internal volume, a liquid dispensing device in the internal volume, where the liquid dispensing device includes liquid in a liquid flow path extending through at least a portion of the liquid dispensing device to an opening in communication with the internal volume, and a liquid adsorbing material in the internal volume.
Claims14
A liquid adsorption system, comprising:
- a vapor barrier container having a sealable internal volume;
- a liquid dispensing device in the internal volume, wherein the liquid dispensing device includes a nozzle and liquid in a liquid flow path extending through at least a portion of the liquid dispensing device to an opening in communication with the internal volume;
- and
- a liquid adsorbing material in the internal volume, wherein the liquid adsorbing material has a liquid adsorption efficiency of at least 0.24 grams of liquid per gram of the liquid adsorbing material.

A packaged liquid dispensing device, comprising:
- a vapor barrier bag having a water vapor transmission rate of less than ten milligrams of water vapor per day;
- a liquid dispensing device in the vapor barrier bag, wherein the liquid dispensing device includes a nozzle and a liquid flow path extending through the liquid dispensing device to an opening in communication with an internal volume of the vapor barrier bag, wherein the liquid flow path includes a sealed portion;
- a liquid including an air bubble in the liquid flow path, wherein the air bubble is in the sealed portion of the liquid flow path;
- and
- a liquid adsorbing material in the internal volume to adsorb at least a predetermined portion of the liquid.
2 more elements
A method, comprising:
- at least partially filling an inside of a liquid dispensing device with liquid, wherein the liquid contains an air bubble;
- positioning the at least partially filled liquid dispensing device and a liquid adsorbing material in a vapor barrier bag, wherein the adsorbing material is to adsorb at least a predetermined amount of the liquid and mitigate a pressure differential between an internal pressure of the at least partially filled liquid dispensing device and an ambient pressure surrounding the vapor barrier bag;
- and
- sealing the vapor barrier bag to form a packaged liquid dispensing device.
