Device for supplying a pipe with a fluid at a particular pressure from alternative sources

摘要

An installation for the delivery of a gas of high purity under a constant pressure from either of two vessels each of which is connected to a utilization outlet via a separate supply pipe and a switching system. A switching control system acts on two high-pressure valves, one for each vessel, downstream of which is situated a single pressure regulator which controls the outlet gas pressure. The valves are actuated by an auxiliary low-pressure gas via a pneumatic memory and two detectors measuring the pressure prevailing in the two gas vessels.
