    摘要: A method of detecting a malfunction or failure of a pressure regulator in a corrosive or reactive gas distribution system while in use involves continuously measuring or monitoring the output pressure of the pressure regulator, both in the presence and the absence of gas flow. The onset of a malfunction of the pressure regulator can be predicted when the differential output pressure between flowing and non-flowing gas fluctuates highly and increases gradually. Failure of the pressure regulator or of the total system is detected when the differential output pressure in the presence and absence of flowing gas exceeds some experimentally determined value.

    摘要: Methods and systems of delivering ultra-high purity gas to a point of use are claimed and described. The methods include providing a source of ultra-high purity liquid (the source preferably at a pressure and temperature sufficient to maintain the liquid in substantially the liquid phase); transporting (preferably via pressure in the source alone) the ultra-high purity liquid from the source to one or more means to effect a phase change of the ultra-high purity liquid to an ultra-high purity gas; effecting a phase change (preferably at or near equilibrium vaporization conditions) of the ultra-high purity liquid to form an ultra-high purity gas in the one or more means to effect the phase change; and routing the ultra-high purity gas from the means to effect the phase change to a point of use (preferably with no intermediate, potentially impurity-generating media between the means to effect the phase change and the point of use other than ultra-clean conduit).

    摘要: Provided is a novel method of and system for recovering and recirculating a deuterium-containing gas. According to the inventive method, a deuterium-containing feed gas is introduced into a chamber. An exhaust gas containing deuterium is removed from the chamber. The deuterium concentration of the exhaust gas is adjusted to a predetermined value, thereby producing a concentration-adjusted gas stream. Finally, the concentration-adjusted gas stream is introduced into the chamber as the deuterium-containing feed gas. The invention makes the use of deuterium, for example, in the mass production of semiconductor devices, commercially feasible.
