Abstract
A gas adaptor (10) adapted in use to reduce the pressure of a gas or flow rate of a liquefied gas, said gas adaptor (10) having means (14) for connection to a gas source; an adaptor body (13, 13A) having an internal bore (22) in which is located a ceramic insert (27); and a capillary tube or passage (24) in fluid communication with the internal bore (22) wherein in use the gas or liquefied gas is caused to flow through the internal bore (22) of the adaptor body (13, 13A) and through the ceramic insert (27) and subsequently through the capillary tube or passage (24).
Claims27
A gas adaptor adapted in use to reduce the pressure of a gas or flow rate of a liquefied gas, said gas adaptor having:
- (i) means for connection to a gas source;
- (ii) an adaptor body having an internal bore in which is located a ceramic insert;
- and
- (iii) a capillary tube or passage in fluid communication with the internal bore wherein in use the gas or liquefied gas is caused to flow through the internal bore of the adaptor body and through the ceramic insert and subsequently through the capillary tube or passage.
A gas adaptor adapted to reduce a flow rate of a gas, said gas adaptor having:
- (i) means for connection to a gas source;
- (ii) an adaptor body having an internal bore in which is located a ceramic insert;
- and
- (iii) a capillary tube or passage in fluid communication with the internal bore wherein in use the gas is caused to flow through the internal bore of the adaptor body and through the ceramic insert and subsequently through the capillary tube or passage.
An adaptor body adapted to reduce the flow rate of a liquefied gas, said gas body having:
- (i) means for connection to a gas source;
- and
- (ii) an internal bore in which is located a ceramic insert,
- said adaptor body in use being in flow communication with a capillary tube or passage wherein the gas is caused to flow through the internal bore of the adaptor body and through the ceramic insert and subsequently through the capillary tube or passage.
A gas adaptor assembly having:
- (a) an adaptor body adapted to reduce the flow rate of a liquefied gas, said adaptor body having:
- (ii) means for connection to a gas source;
- (iii) an internal bore in which is located a ceramic insert;
- and
- (b) a sleeve component incorporating a capillary tube or passage having contained therein an internal bore which engages with the adaptor body in abutting relationship with the capillary tube or passage being in flow communication with the internal bore.
A gas adaptor assembly adapted to reduce a flow rate of a gas, said gas adaptor having:
- (i) means for connection to a gas source;
- (ii) an adaptor body having an internal bore in which is located a ceramic insert;
- and
- (iii) a capillary tube or passage in fluid communication with the internal bore having at least one restricted zone wherein in use gas is caused to flow through the ceramic insert which functions as a filter to filter out impurities from the gas and said at least one restricted zone functions to reduce the flow rate of the gas.
A gas adaptor assembly adapted to reduce a flow rate of a gas, said gas adaptor assembly having:
- (i) means for connection to a gas source;
- (ii) a capillary tube or passage having at least one restricted zone wherein in use gas is caused to flow through said at least one restricted zone to reduce the flow rate of the gas.
A method for reducing a flow rate of a gas, said method including steps of:
- (i) passing the gas through a ceramic insert to filter out impurities from the gas;
- and
- (ii) subsequently passing the gas through a capillary tube or passage having at least one restricted zone wherein said at least one restricted zone causes said reduction in the flow rate of the gas.
A method of reducing a flow rate of a gas which includes the step of passing the gas through a capillary tube or passage which has at least one restricted zone which causes said reduction in the flow rate of the gas.
