Abstract
A high pressure fluid storage system with at least one pressure sensing unitary device (PSUD) which can perform the function of a pressure regulator device. The PSUD can be manufactured as a single unitary construction, wherein both the housing body and the internal pressure regulating mechanism are made from a single unit, material, or both. The PSUD does not have any welded components, is not assembled from a plurality of separate components, or both.
Claims20
A device comprising:
- a single unitary body comprising:
- a housing that includes an inlet and an outlet. a pressure reducing mechanism that is contained with the housing and is,
- disposed between the inlet and the outlet, and
- wherein the pressure reducing mechanism is configured to receive a fluid having a first pressure which enters via the inlet, direct a flow of the fluid towards the outlet at a second pressure.
A device comprising:
- a single unitary body,
- wherein the single unitary body consists of:
- a housing,
- wherein the housing includes:
- an inlet, and
- an outlet;
- and
- a pressure reducing mechanism,
- wherein the pressure reducing mechanism is connected to the housing,
- wherein the pressure reducing mechanism is contained within the housing,
- wherein the pressure reducing mechanism is disposed between the inlet and the outlet, and
- wherein the pressure reducing mechanism is configured to receive a fluid having an first pressure which enters via the inlet, direct a flow of the fluid to the outlet at a second pressure,
- wherein the second pressure is lower than the first pressure.
A fluid supply system comprising:
- a container body,
- wherein the container body defines an internal cavity for storing a fluid at a first pressure;
- and
- a pressure regulator device,
- wherein the pressure regulator device is disposed in the internal cavity,
- wherein the pressure regulator device is a single unitary body,
- wherein the single unitary body includes:
- a housing,
- wherein the housing includes:
- an inlet, and
- an outlet;
- and
- a pressure reducing mechanism,
- wherein the pressure reducing mechanism is contained within the housing,
- wherein the pressure reducing mechanism is disposed between the inlet and the outlet, and
- wherein the pressure reducing mechanism is configured to receive the fluid having the first pressure which enters via the inlet, direct a flow of the fluid to the outlet at a second pressure, wherein the second pressure is lower than the first pressure.
