Abstract:
Fluid supply packages of varying types are described, which are useful for delivery of fluids to fluid-utilizing facilities such as semiconductor manufacturing facilities, solar panel manufacturing facilities, and flat-panel display manufacturing facilities. The fluid supply packages include fluid supply vessels and valve heads of varied configuration, as useful to constitute fluid supply packages that are pressure-regulated and/or adsorbent-based in character.
Abstract:
An adsorption structure is described that includes at least one adsorbent member formed of an adsorbent material and at least one porous member provided in contact with a portion of the adsorbent member to allow gas to enter and exit the portion of the adsorbent member. Such adsorption structure is usefully employed in adsorbent-based refrigeration systems. A method also is described for producing an adsorbent material, in which a first polymeric material provided having a first density and a second polymeric material is provided having a second density, in which the second polymeric material is in contact with the first polymeric material to form a structure. The structure is pyrolyzed to form a porous adsorbent material including a first region corresponding to the first polymeric material and a second region corresponding to the second polymeric material, in which at least one of the pore sizes and the pore distribution differs between the first region and the second region.
