Abstract:
A purge system has a purge gas piping system for substituting inert gas for process gas when a device connected in a process gas piping system is detached therefrom. In the purge system, a purge joint for connecting two pipes in the purge gas piping system is provided with an opening formed in alignment with the position where the two pipes are connected in the purge joint.
Abstract:
An apparatus is provided for conducting solid phase oligomer synthesis. The apparatus includes a reaction vessel in which a solid phase support is contained. The reaction vessel has a top opening through which gases and solvents can be delivered by way of a series of conduits and valves. The reaction vessel is interconnected through a bottom opening therein and through a series of conduits and valves with a vessel or series of vessels containing a reagent or series of reagents, respectively, required for the synthetic reaction. The reagent vessel serves a both a source of reagent delivered to the reaction vessel and as a repository for unused reagent returned thereto from the reaction vessel. Reagent delivery and mixing is gas-driven using an associated source of an inert gas.
Abstract:
It is intended to provide a vaporizer in a liquid material vaporizing and feeding apparatus for allowing a liquid to absorb heat efficiently and vaporizing it thereby without pulsation of the liquid or formation of air bubbles.In a lower end face of an upper member 20 is formed a recess 24 into which a liquid material inlet 22 opens, and a valve member 50 is disposed so as to cover the recess 24.With a spring S, the valve member 50 is urged in a direction in which it comes into close contact with the lower end face of the upper member 20. A vaporizing portion 26 is formed between an upper surface of the valve member 50 and the upper member 20, and a pressure intensifying portion 58 is formed by both the upper surface of the valve member 50 and the recess 24.A liquid material fed from the liquid material inlet 22 depresses the valve member 50 through the pressure intensifying portion 58, and when the liquid material is diffused in the vaporizing portion 26, it is heated and vaporizes in an instant.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method and apparatus for delivering one or more process gases and one or more cleaning gases into one or more processing regions. The gas distribution system includes a gas inlet and a gas conduit, each disposed to deliver one or more gases into the chamber via a desired diffusing passage. Also, a gas delivery method and apparatus for splitting a gas feed into multiple feed lines is provided having a gas filter disposed upstream from a splitting coupling disposed in the line.
Abstract:
A system provides an oxygen-bearing gas and gaseous reactant stream to a fluidized bed reactor using a sparger to entrain the oxygen-bearing gas into the reactant gas stream. A feed line couples the sparger to the reactor's fluidized bed and introduces the reactant gas stream and entrained oxygen-bearing gas directly into contact with the fluidized bed. A controller controls and maintains both the amount of oxygen-bearing gas and the gaseous reactant above an upper flammability limit, preferably with a safety margin of at least 10%.
Abstract:
Process and apparatus for conveying flowing substances with the aid of an electrochemical gas evolution cell whose cell current generates primarily a gas volume flow which secondarily causes the volume flow of a decomposer liquid into a catalytic decomposer and which thereby initiates a quantity flow of the decomposer gas which transports the flowable conveyed medium to the intended location.
Abstract:
Packaging system for liquid reagents in which two or more vessels with holding areas are combined by pressing a plug-on plate onto the holding areas of the vessels. For this purpose the plug-on plate has two or more apertures the cross-section of which essentially corresponds to the cross-section of the holding areas of the vessels. Plug-on plate and/or holding areas of the vessels can have stop elements which, after the combination, hinder the separation vessels and plug-on plate.
Abstract:
A fluid control system, and its valve assemblies, are used to control the feeding of fluids accurately (by operating (opening and closing) valves promptly and accurately), for the manufacture of semiconductors, magnetic thin films, biotechnical products, and other products. The fluid control system comprises a principal control line (L) and plural branch control lines (L.sub.1, L.sub.2, . . . ) for feeding plural types of fluid (G.sub.1, G.sub.2, . . . ) into a processing device (C) coupled to the principal control line, and plural valve assemblies (V) incorporated in the branch control lines (L.sub.1, L.sub.2, . . . ) for switching the fluids (G.sub.1, G.sub.2, . . . ) supplied into the processing device (C). Each of the valve assemblies (V) comprises a fluid drive valve (V') having a fluid pressure actuator (1), and an electromagnetic valve (V") integrally attached, in single housing, substantially without hoses, to the fluid drive valve (V') to feed a working fluid (A) into the fluid pressure actuator (1).
Abstract:
A device for dispensing a flowable mass stored under pressure in a container (13) includes a handle (1) with a locking arrangement (3) at one end for coupling it to the container. The handle (1) has a manually operated trigger member (5) in a side of the handle for operating an outlet valve on the container (13). The handle (1) forms a recess (7) extending inwardly from the one end to be coupled to the container (13) toward an opposite end.
Abstract:
A method and system for purging an ultra-high purity gas supply manifold comprising: a process connection through which ultra-high purity gas is communicated to a process; a first pigtail conduit in selective flow communication with a high purity gas source; a second pigtail conduit in selective flow communication with said process connection; means for creating a vacuum and means for selectively placing said vacuum means in communication with said first pigtail; an ultra-high purity process gas source; a block valve assembly comprising an inlet port in flow communication with said process gas source, a first outlet port in selective communication with said purge gas supply through connection with said first pigtail and second outlet port in selective communication with said process connection through connection with said second pigtail.
