    Abstract: A relatively low pressure inert gas hazard suppression system (20) is provided which is designed to protect a room (22) or the like from the effects of fire or other hazard. The system (20) includes a plurality of pressurized inert gas cylinders (24) each equipped with a valve unit (26); each valve unit (26) is in turn coupled via a conduit (28) to a delivery manifold (30). The respective valve units (26) are operable to deliver gas from the cylinders (24) at a generally constant pressure (usually around 10-100 bar) throughout a substantial portion of the time of gas delivery, to thereby provide effective hazard suppression without the need for expensive high-pressure gas handling and distribution hardware and a reduction in room venting area due to lower room over-pressurization. Each valve unit (26) has a valve body (48) and a shiftable piston-type sealing member (56). Gas pressure from the cylinder (24) and a spring assembly (184) biases the member 56 to the valve open position, this being counterbalanced by gas pressure within equalization and modulation chambers (180, 182) provided in the valve unit (26). When a hazard is detected, the valve units (26) are actuated by draining of gas from the modulation chambers (182), allowing gas flow from the cylinders (24). As gas discharge proceeds, gas flows into and out of the modulation chambers (182) so as to achieve the desired generally constant pressure gas output. Near the end of gas discharge, the spring assembly (184) becomes predominant and holds the valve unit (26) open until all gas is discharged.

    Abstract: A high-efficiency liquid oxygen, (LOX) storage/delivery system utilizes a portable LOX/delivery apparatus with a portable LOX container. A portable-unit LOX transfer connector is connected to the portable LOX container and is connectable to a main source of LOX in a primary reservoir LOX container. A portable-unit oxygen gas transfer connector is provided for transferring oxygen gas from the portable LOX container to an oxygen gas delivery device for delivering oxygen gas to a patient. An inter-unit oxygen gas transfer connector also is provided for connecting the portable apparatus to a stationary source of oxygen gas in the primary reservoir container, for transferring oxygen gas to the portable apparatus. A portable-unit primary relief valve is connected to the portable LOX container for venting oxygen gas out of the portable LOX container when pressure in the portable LOX container reaches a predetermined level. When the inter-unit oxygen gas transfer connector of the portable container is connected to the stationary source of oxygen in the primary reservoir container, oxygen gas can be transferred to the oxygen gas delivery device for delivery to the patient from the portable LOX container while oxygen gas is transferred to the portable container from the stationary source of gas in the primary reservoir LOX container.
