    摘要: Cooling of a meter by liquid flowing in a flow that is reverse from dispensing flow is described. A plurality of tubes is configured to transport a plurality of fluids comprising a first fluid and a second fluid. Dispense valves attached to corresponding tubes are configured to open when the first fluid is dispensed from a pump to a first outlet. Recirculation valves attached to respective tubes are configured to open when the second fluid is transported from the pump to a second outlet. A meter attached to a tube of the plurality of tubes is configured to measure properties of a fluid when the fluid flows through the tube, wherein the fluid is one of the first fluid and the second fluid. The meter is configured to sense reverse flow when the second fluid flows from the outlet section to the inlet section.

    摘要: A cryocooler is described that can include a pressure wave generator, and a refrigeration device (for example, a coldhead), which can be used to liquefy a gas when the gas is exposed to a surface of the refrigeration device. The pressure wave generator can include one or more motors. Each motor can include a stator, and at least one electrical coil wound around a portion of the stator. The electrical coil can generate a reversing magnetic field when alternating electric current is passed through the electrical coil. The motor can further include a pressurized container that can be placed within the space enclosed by the stator, and a piston that can be placed inside the pressurized container. The stators can be placed external to the pressurized container. The piston is made by combining magnets that have opposite and transverse polarities, and are combined adjacently on a common reciprocating axis.

    摘要: An annular seal for sealing an opening in a pump housing surrounding a piston rod includes a primary sealing portion with an inner surface adjacent to the piston rod and an outer surface adjacent to the pump housing. An initial sealing portion features an inner wall and an outer wall so that an annular space is defined therebetween. A top wall extends between the inner and outer walls. A coil spring is positioned within the annular space of the initial sealing portion and urges the inner wall into engagement with the piston rod and the outer wall into engagement with the pump housing.

    摘要: A system for cryogenic gas delivery includes a cryogenic tank configured to contain a cryogenic liquid and a gas within a headspace above the cryogenic liquid. The system also includes first and second vaporizers and a use outlet. A first pipe is configured to transfer gas from the headspace through the first vaporizer to the use outlet. A second pipe is configured to transfer liquid from the tank through the first vaporizer so that a first vapor stream is directed to the use outlet. A third pipe is configured to build pressure within the tank by transferring liquid from the tank through the second vaporizer so that a second vapor stream is directed back to the headspace of the tank. A first regulator valve is in fluid communication with the second pipe and opens when a pressure on an outlet side of the first regulator drops below a first predetermined pressure level. A second regulator valve is in fluid communication with the third pipe and opens when a pressure inside the tank drops below a second predetermined pressure level. The first predetermined pressure level is higher than the second predetermined pressure level.

    摘要: A dosing vessel includes a reservoir having an inlet and an outlet and is configured to contain a supply of a cryogenic liquid with a headspace above. The outlet is configured to be connected to a dosing arm having a dosing head. A low pressure sensor is configured to detect a vapor pressure in the headspace. A high pressure sensor is configured to detect a pressure in a bottom portion of the reservoir. An inlet valve is in fluid communication with the inlet of the reservoir and is placed in communication with a source of cryogenic liquid. A controller is in communication with the high and low pressure sensors and the inlet valve and is configured to store a preset liquid level or a preset differential pressure corresponding to the preset liquid level, to determine a measured differential pressure based on data from the high and low pressure sensors and to control the inlet valve based on the measured differential pressure and the preset liquid level or the preset differential pressure so that a liquid level of a cryogenic liquid stored in the reservoir is generally maintained at the preset liquid level.
