    Abstract: A method of for mixing gases is described. The gases may include a first and a second gas wherein a gas mixing system accepts the gases and operates in a plurality of modes of operation to produce a discharge gas including a mixture thereof, and the second gas may be supplied without the first gas, and the first gas may be supplied without the second gas. The gas mixing system may be integrated with a gas processing system to produce a biogas-related product. The gas mixing system may be a compressor, a jet compressor, an ejector, an eductor, venturi jet pump, eductor-jet pump, and/or a thermocompressor, that uses a first stream of high-pressure gas to entrain a relatively lower pressure second gas, mixes the two, and discharges a third gas mixture that is of a sufficiently elevated pressure to be supplied to other areas of a production facility.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for proportional gas mixing. A method for mixing gas may include receiving, at a modified ball valve, a first gas via a first gas input port of the modified ball valve, and a second gas via a second gas input port of the modified ball valve. The method may also include coupling a motor control device with the modified ball valve. The method may further include operating the modified ball valve via the motor control device by adjusting a position of the modified ball valve. In addition, the method may include releasing a gas mixture of the first gas and the second gas through a gas output port of the modified ball valve.

    Abstract: Plant for delivering a gas mixture to a silicon wafer doping unit comprising a source of a dopant gas (1), a source of a carrier gas (2), a mixer device (3) connected to the container of dopant gas (1) and to the source of carrier gas (2), a first flow regulator member (41) and a second flow regulator member (42) for regulating the flows of the dopant gas (1) and of the carrier gas (2) towards the mixer device (3), a control unit (5) for controlling the first and second flow regulator members (41, 42) so as to adjust the first flow rate setpoint (D1) and the second flow rate setpoint (D2) in proportions determined as a function of at least one target content (C1, C2) of dopant gas (1) and/or carrier gas (2) in the mixture, a buffer tank (7), a delivery line (6) for delivering the mixture to a doping unit (10) with a consumption flow rate (DC), at least one measurement sensor (8) for measuring a physical quantity, the variation of which is representative of a variation in the consumption flow rate (DC) and for providing a first measurement signal, the control unit (5) being connected to the sensor (8) and configured to produce a first control signal from the first measurement signal, the flow regulator members (41, 42) being configured to adjust the first and second flow rate setpoints (D1, D2) in response to said first control signal.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed relating to mixing fluids in welding-type equipment. In some examples, a welding-type power supply (and/or wire feeder) may include multiple fluid paths through which to provide fluid from multiple fluid reservoirs to multiple welding-type tools. The power supply may be configured to automatically control fluid flow rates through the fluid paths via proportional valves. Further, the welding-type power supply may be configured to allow and/or prohibit mixing of fluids from different flow paths via control of various valves.

    Abstract: A control valve features a first housing and a second housing. The first housing includes a first inlet port having a first inlet port orifice member with a first inlet port orifice size configured to provide a first inlet fluid with a first inlet volumetric flow rate, the first inlet port orifice member being detachably coupled inside the first inlet port; includes a second inlet port having a second inlet port orifice member with a second inlet port orifice size configured to provide a second inlet fluid with a second inlet volumetric flow rate, the second inlet port orifice member being detachably coupled inside the second inlet port; and includes a first housing rim configured to extend from the first fixed inlet and the second fixed inlet. The second housing includes a second housing rim coupled to the first housing rim and configured to form a mixture chamber to mix the first inlet fluid received from the first fixed inlet orifice and the second inlet fluid received from the second fixed inlet orifice and provide a mixture chamber fluid; and an outlet port having an outlet port orifice with an outlet port orifice size configured to provide the mixture chamber fluid as an outlet port fluid having an outlet volumetric flow rate. The outlet port fluid has a mixture ratio of the first inlet fluid and the second inlet fluid for a particular application that depends on dimensions of the first inlet port orifice size, the second inlet port orifice size and the outlet port orifice size.
