Abstract

A fluid storage and dispensing system (10) comprising a vessel (12) for holding a fluid (17) at a desired pressure. The vessel has a pressure regulator (26) set at a predetermined pressure. The regulator may be interiorly or exteriorly positioned, single-staged or multi-staged, and is associated with a port of the vessel. A dispensing assembly, e.g., including a flow control means such as a valve (20), is arranged in gas/vapor flow communication with the regulator (26), whereby the opening of the valve effects dispensing of gas/vapor from the vessel (12). The fluid in the vessel may be constituted by a liquid that is confined in the vessel at a pressure in excess of its liquefaction pressure at prevailing temperature conditions, e.g. ambient (room) temperature.

Description of the invention (1) Field of the invention The invention relates to a fluid storage and gas distribution system that can use it to store high-pressure liquids or other fluids for distributing gas from the system, and is used in applications such as manufacturing semiconductor devices and materials Use the assigned gas. Description of related techniques In various industrial processes and applications, a reliable source of processing fluid is required. These processing and application fields include semiconductor manufacturing, ion implantation, manufacturing of flat panel displays' medical intervention and treatment, water treatment, emergency breathing equipment, welding operations, space-based liquid and gas transportation, and so on. U.S. Patent No. 4,744,221, issued to Karl O. Knollmueller on May 17, 1988, discloses a method for contacting rhenium with zeolites having a pore size in the range of about 5 to 15 angstroms at a temperature of about + 30 ° c. To adsorb radon on zeolite for storage and subsequent transport of radon. Rhenium is then heated by heating the zeolite to an elevated temperature of up to about 175. (: Allow sufficient time to dispense tritium from the zeolite material.

Description of the Invention (2) Increasing the term of use of the system and the efficiency of operation may be extremely disadvantageous and have safety concerns. The zeolite bed itself is provided with heating coils or other heating elements, which are problematic because it is difficult for these devices to uniformly heat the zeolite bed to achieve the desired uniformity of tritium gas release. The use of heated carrier gas flow through the zeolite bed in its closed container overcomes the above-mentioned shortcomings, but the temperature necessary to reach the lung's heated carrier gas to desorb may be undesirably high or otherwise unsuitable for the final use of tritium gas 'Thus cooling or other processing is then required to regulate the distributed gas for end use.

Description of the invention (3) '---- Gas' is physically adsorbed on the solid-phase physical sorbent medium; a distribution assembly, Lian'1 is in communication with the storage and distribution container for gas flow, and the structure and setting In order to provide a pressure lower than the internal pressure outside the storage and distribution container to complete the desorption of the sorbent gas from the solid phase physical sorbent medium, and the gas that removes the adsorbed gas flows through the distribution assembly; the solid phase The physical sorbent medium is free of trace components such as water, metals, and oxidative transition metals (eg, oxides, sulfites and / or nitrates), which would otherwise decompose the sorbent gas in storage and distribution containers. These solid components are eliminated from the solid-phase physical sorbent medium, and the decomposition of the sorbent gas is, for example, 'maintained at an extremely low level at 25 t and internal pressure conditions' after one year, so that the weight of the sorbent gas is decomposed. Calculated not to exceed 5%. Compared to the prior art, a high-pressure gas cylinder, such as the storage and distribution container patented by Tom et al., Is used to implement a practical progress in this technology. It is known that high-pressure gas cylinders are susceptible to self-damage or leaking regulator assembly leaks' and that if the internal decomposition of the gas causes a rapid increase in the internal gas pressure in the cylinders, it is susceptible to fractures or other undesired gas releases from the cylinders in large quantities . It is therefore necessary in this art to provide an improved fluid storage and delivery system that overcomes the various deficiencies described above for selective gas distribution. Relative to the state of the art, and the present invention as explained more fully below, the related art includes the following references: US Patent No. 3,590,860 to Stenner (a manual adjustable regulator for a liquid propane cartridge, including a regulator diaphragm and actuating spring assembly);

When it is desired to distribute the gas from the container 12, the valve actuator 24 is actuated to open the valve 20, thereby allowing the gas or vapor derived from the liquid to flow through the permeable diaphragm 30, the pressure regulator 26 and the valve 20 for passage. The outlet 22 flows from the valve head distribution assembly. The opening of the valve 20 completes the pressure reduction on the discharge side of the permeable membrane 30 and causes the vapor derived from the liquid to permeate through the membrane for discharge. At the same time, the fluid pressure regulator will keep the pressure of the gas being dispensed at the set point pressure level.

Description of the invention (19) The container 12 in the embodiment of FIG. 1 may be provided with a separate filling port 4 2 (as opposed to the fluid flow port on the neck of the container), and this separate filling The mouth can be connected to a liquid source for filling the container. Otherwise, the container may be provided with only one neck opening, and the pressure regulator is set at an appropriate temperature level for filling. During the filling operation, the container may be cooled, such as by placing the container in a uniform cooler or coolant pool to reduce the temperature of the container below a predetermined pressure point established by the pressure regulator. The fluid pressure regulator will then have a gas pressure in the internal volume 15 of the container below the set point of the regulator, thereby allowing the lifting element of the pressure regulator to separate from its seat, and allowing fluid to flow into the container for subsequent storage of the liquid in among them. FIG. 2 is a schematic illustration of a semiconductor manufacturing system utilizing a fluid storage and distribution system π 0 according to the present invention. The fluid storage and distribution system 110 includes a generally cylindrical container 112 constructed approximately along the pipeline of the container 12 in FIG. The container holds the liquid at a predetermined pressure. The valve head assembly includes a valve 120 'having an actuator 124 configured to selectively actuate the valve, and complete discharge of gas from the container at line 142. The valve actuator 124 is controlled by the central processing unit 2 10, which may include a computer or microprocessor control device, and the signal actuator 124 is connected with the valve actuator 124 to form a control relationship. The central processing unit 210 may be constructed and arranged to actuate a valve according to a cycle time program. Otherwise, the central processing unit 210 may transmit a signal indicating the predetermined processing condition to the central processing unit at the semiconductor manufacturing facility 200 via the processing status signal transmission line 216 to monitor the processing status, resulting in the unit responding to actuate the valve actuator 124 To the corresponding degree '

五、發明說明(21) 作之對應個別流體儲存及分配容器予以分配。 請予認知,本發明之流體儲存及分配裝置提供高度有效 並容易製成之裝置,供流體諸如胂之高容量儲存及輸送, 其能在壓力下予以液化,不費太多工夫或費用。V. Description of the invention (21) The corresponding fluid storage and distribution container is used for distribution. Please recognize that the fluid storage and distribution device of the present invention provides a highly efficient and easy-to-manufacture device for the high-capacity storage and transportation of fluids such as tritium, which can be liquefied under pressure without much effort or expense.

而且,在流體儲存及分配容器之内部容積,在内部配置 一流體壓力調節器,容器藉以可製成為在其頸部僅有一單 一接缝,作為流體類流入或流出之潛在泄漏路徑。因之, 容器可容易製成,並且在使用時’内部配置之氣體壓力奶 節器受到保護’以防否則可能不利影響容器之結構完整性 或操作之衝擊以及環境暴露,以及構成一供儲存及分配容 器之另外潛在泄漏路徑。 雖然配合圖1所說明系統之方法大致令人滿意,但在流 體容器之長期儲存狀況下’可能發生液體凝結在膜片之下 游側。例如,如果容器予以安置在其側面,並且液體容積 在此位置延伸高於可透分相器膜>{之高度,則存在一小潛 能梯度,並等於與此液體"頭”關聯之重力潛能。為了使二 液體頭潛能平衡,液體將會凝結在膜片之閥侧,直到在膜 片相對兩側之各別液體水準巳相等。Moreover, the internal volume of the fluid storage and distribution container is equipped with a fluid pressure regulator inside, so that the container can be made with only a single seam on its neck as a potential leak path for fluids flowing in or out. Therefore, the container can be easily manufactured, and the "internally configured gas pressure milk nipple is protected" during use to prevent shocks and environmental exposure that may adversely affect the structural integrity or operation of the container, and constitute a storage and Another potential leak path for the dispensing container. Although the method used in conjunction with the system illustrated in Figure 1 is generally satisfactory, under long-term storage conditions of the fluid container ', liquid may condense on the downstream side of the diaphragm. For example, if the container is placed on its side and the volume of liquid extends at this position above the height of the permeable phase separator membrane > {, then there is a small potential gradient equal to the gravity associated with this liquid " head " Potential: In order to balance the potential of the two liquid heads, the liquid will condense on the valve side of the diaphragm until the respective liquid levels on the opposite sides of the diaphragm are equal.

另外’供高壓鋼瓶型式,諸如習知採用供Θ氟化硼 (BF3)之氣體儲存及分配容器,系統之氣體儲存容量通常 由鋼飯壓力予以確定及限制^在此等情形供氣體液化所將 必要之壓力可能過高。 。另在上述之外,習知供壓縮氣體服務使用之氣體鋼瓶容 器’如National Gas Taper(NGT)標準所測定,一般利用In addition, for the type of high-pressure cylinders, such as the conventional use of gas storage and distribution containers for Θ boron fluoride (BF3), the gas storage capacity of the system is usually determined and limited by the pressure of the steel meal. The necessary pressure may be too high. . In addition to the above, conventional gas cylinder containers used for compressed gas service ’are determined by the National Gas Taper (NGT) standard and generally used.

88120690.ptd 第25頁 五、發明說明(22) 1/4吋NGT,1/2吋NGT,及較小之閥進口。為了有效利用” 瓶中調節器”方法,需要大於目前習知現有之鋼瓶進口。88120690.ptd Page 25 V. Description of the invention (22) 1/4 inch NGT, 1/2 inch NGT, and smaller valve inlet. In order to effectively use the "regulator in a bottle" method, it needs to be larger than the steel cylinder imports currently known.

Compressed Gas Association(CGA)之最大建議壓縮氣體 鋼瓶進口為1. 5吋NGT-11 l/2tpi (螺紋/吋)開口,有一最 小直徑1. 7 9吋。大於1 / 4吋N G T之開口,一般予以設計為供 其在高流動之應用’並且需要較大鋼瓶(>5〇公升内部容 積)。發明人等不知道具有容積少於50公升之任何鋼舰, 有開口大於1吋NGT,並且非常不大可能採用大於1吋NGT 之任何開口供容積少於2 〇公升之鋼瓶。 為使允許商業性”瓶中調節器方法,必要提供一種鋼 瓶’其滿足美國運輸部(USD0T)包裝標準,有一進口開口 大於習知現有,並可經得起在約1000至約5000磅/平方吋 (psi)範圍之壓力。先前技藝未曾建議或製成此種容器, 並且沒有曾市售者。 在本發明之流體儲存及分配系統,包括一流體儲存及分 配容器,特色為一流體流動口,有一流體分配總成聯結為 與該口成流體流動相通,與根據本發明之口關聯之調節 器,可適當包含一雙級調節器,以解決在上文所說明之分 相問題。Compressed Gas Association (CGA) 's largest recommended compressed gas cylinder inlet is 1.5 inch NGT-11 l / 2tpi (thread / inch) opening, with a minimum diameter of 1. 7 9 inches. Openings larger than 1/4 inch N GT are generally designed for high flow applications' and require larger cylinders (> 50 liters internal volume). The inventors do not know that any steel ship with a volume less than 50 liters has an opening greater than 1 inch NGT, and it is very unlikely that any opening larger than 1 inch NGT will be used for cylinders with a volume less than 20 liters. In order to allow a commercial "in-bottle regulator" method, it is necessary to provide a steel bottle that meets the US Department of Transportation (USD0T) packaging standards, has an inlet opening larger than conventionally available, and can withstand about 1000 to about 5000 pounds per square Pressure in the range of inches (psi). No such container has been suggested or made by prior art and has not been marketed. The fluid storage and distribution system of the present invention includes a fluid storage and distribution container and is characterized by a fluid flow port. A fluid distribution assembly is connected in fluid communication with the mouth, and the regulator associated with the mouth according to the present invention may suitably include a two-stage regulator to solve the phase separation problem described above.

如曾巳述及,如果儲存及分配容器配合一分相器單元利 用一單級調節器,容器如果安置在其侧面’可容納足夠液 體,致使液體容積延伸高於玎透分相器膜片之高度。在此 種狀況下,液體將會凝結在膜片之閥侧,直到在臈片之相 對兩側之各別液體水準相等。As mentioned, if the storage and distribution container is combined with a phase separator unit using a single-stage regulator, if the container is placed on its side ', it can hold enough liquid, so that the volume of the liquid extends above the height of the perforated phase separator diaphragm. In this condition, the liquid will condense on the valve side of the diaphragm until the respective liquid levels on the opposite sides of the diaphragm are equal.

41829T 五、發明說明(23) 使用雙级調節器避免此種缺點。如果來自谷益之大夏内 部容積之液體’在雙級調節器之第一與第二級之間移動, 雙級調節器之高壓級之壓敏元件(高壓,級為在容器中與液 體初始流體流動相通之調節器級’及低壓級為隨後與第一 級流體流動相通之調節器級),將會被強制至閉合位置。 各別調節器級之壓敏元件一般為一提動閥°當高壓級被強 制閉合,並且壓力在級間部位(在高壓級與低壓級之間)上 升時,此增加之級間壓力’在自第二級排出之流體之最後 壓力,將會有很少影響。41829T 5. Description of the invention (23) The use of a two-stage regulator avoids such disadvantages. If the liquid from Guyi's Daxia's internal volume moves between the first and second stages of the two-stage regulator, the pressure-sensitive element of the high-pressure stage of the two-stage regulator (high pressure, the stage is The fluid flow regulator stage 'and the low pressure stage are regulator stages which are subsequently communicated with the first fluid flow stage) and will be forced to the closed position. The pressure-sensitive element of each regulator stage is generally a poppet valve. When the high-pressure stage is forcibly closed and the pressure rises between the stages (between the high-pressure stage and the low-pressure stage), the increased inter-stage pressure is The final pressure of the fluid discharged from the second stage will have little effect.

二級調節器之高壓級之壓力設定點,可予以設定至高於 雙級調節器之最後級(低壓級)之壓力之任何適當塵力水準 。藉此種配置,便解決單級調節器配置之液體凝結問題, 而不影響流體儲存及分配系統之總體操作,包括此,系統之 充填操作(流體裝填)。 因之’利用雙級調節器之儲存及分配系統,可予以構形 大致如圖1中所示在上文所說明,但其中壓力調節器26為 雙級調節器而非單級調節器。 雙級流體壓力調節器從而與容器之口關聯 為在容器之内部容積保持預定壓力。 並予以設置The pressure set point of the high pressure stage of the secondary regulator can be set to any suitable dust level higher than the pressure of the final stage (low pressure stage) of the dual regulator. With this configuration, the liquid condensation problem of the single-stage regulator configuration is solved without affecting the overall operation of the fluid storage and distribution system, including this, the system's filling operation (fluid filling). Therefore, the storage and distribution system using the two-stage regulator can be configured as shown in Fig. 1 as described above, but the pressure regulator 26 is a two-stage regulator instead of a single-stage regulator. The two-stage fluid pressure regulator is thus associated with the mouth of the container to maintain a predetermined pressure in the internal volume of the container. And set it up
