Abstract: A quick connect fluid connector that is detachably connectable to a fluid system to process a gas into or from the fluid system through the quick connect fluid connector. The quick connect fluid connector includes one or more temperature sensors that can sense the temperature of the gas within the fluid connector during processing. Based on the sensed temperature(s), an alert can be generated to alert a human operator conducting the processing and/or automatically shut-off the processing if the sensed temperature becomes too high. The operator will therefore be alerted if the cylinders are being processed too quickly or if the processing duration could be shortened.

Abstract: A quick connect fluid connector that acts as the connection between a filling line and a gas cylinder for use in gas filling and/or evacuation processes. The fluid connector supplies a gas or vacuum to one or more typical sealing zones of the fluid connector to create one or more pressure differential zones having a pressure that is greater than ambient pressure to act as a barrier to prevent ingress of contaminants into the primary flow of gas through the fluid connector or less than ambient pressure to prevent egress of gas from the primary flow of gas into the surrounding environment.
