Abstract
A high reliability gas mixture backup system and method using same are disclosed herein comprising a high pressure gas mixture storage system and a cryogenic liquid blending gas mixture generation system. In one embodiment the high pressure gas mixture storage system provides instantaneous delivery of a precise gas mixture for a short duration of time, and the cryogenic liquid blending gas mixture generation system provides delivery of a precise gas mixture for an extended duration of time, wherein the backup system provides a large volume of a precise mixture of the gas mixture substantially instantly and then for extended periods of time, with high reliability.
Claims31
A high reliability gas mixture backup system for delivering a precise gas mixture, the system comprising:
- a high pressure gas mixture storage system that delivers the precise gas mixture for a short duration of time;
- and
- a cryogenic liquid blending gas mixture generation system that delivers the precise gas mixture for an extended duration of time
- wherein the high pressure gas mixture storage system and the cryogenic liquid blending gas mixture generation system deliver an uninterrupted supply of the precise gas mixture.
A high reliability gas mixture backup system for delivering a precise gas mixture, the system comprising:
- a high pressure gas mixture storage system that delivers the precise gas mixture for up to 20 minutes, is pressurized to 2:1 to 40:1 of a required delivery pressure, and comprises at least one high pressure storage vessel;
- and
- a cryogenic liquid blending gas mixture generation system that delivers the precise gas mixture for an extended duration of time, uses cryogenic liquids that can be stored at low pressures above the required delivery pressure, and comprises at least one monitor that is communication with the high pressure gas mixture system to determine if the high pressure gas mixture system is providing the precise gas mixture.
A process for providing an uninterrupted supply of a precise gas mixture from a high reliability gas mixture backup system comprising:
- providing a high pressure gas mixture storage system;
- providing a cryogenic liquid blending gas mixture generation system;
- delivering a precise gas mixture from the high pressure storage system for a short duration of time;
- and
- delivering the precise gas mixture from the cryogenic liquid blending gas mixture generation system for an extended duration of time.
