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:
A ventilation gas management system and process for an enclosure adapted to contain fluid supply vessel(s) and through which ventilation gas is flowed to provide safe operation in the event of leakage of fluid from a vessel. Ventilation gas flow is modulated to accommodate various hazard levels associated with the deployment and operation of such enclosure containing fluid supply vessel(s), e.g., a gas box or gas cabinet in a semiconductor manufacturing facility, thereby achieving reduction in ventilation gas requirements otherwise required for such deployment and operation.
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.
