    摘要: 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.

    摘要: 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.
