Abstract
A bubbler container assembly particularly adapted for use in vapor generating systems comprising a main outer vessel, an inner bubbler vessel, a carrier gas inlet and a vapor outlet such that the inner bubbler vessel is contained within the main outer vessel and the bubbler container assembly is constructed so as to self-meter an incoming supply of vaporizable liquid during the introduction of a carrier gas and extraction of resulting vapor. Preferably, the system further provides for magnetic induced centering and positioning of the inner buoyant bubbler vessel, fluid temperature sensing and control, connection of a fluid makeup supply, carrier gas inlet supply, and vapor extraction outlet.
Claims5
An apparatus for reducing friction between two vessels comprising:
- an outer vessel having an inner chamber,
- an inner vessel disposed within said chamber,
- a first inner vessel magnet disposed at one end of said inner vessel and proximate to at least one first outer vessel magnet having an opposing magnetic field,
- a second inner vessel magnet disposed at an opposite end of said first inner vessel magnet,
- a plurality of second outer vessel magnets positioned in proximity to and having opposing magnetic fields to said second inner vessel magnet whereby opposing magnetic fields of said inner and outer magnets are employed to maintain concentric suspension of said inner vessel.
