Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of special gas supply, and in particular to a high-pressure leakage detection and compensation device for special gas supply. Background Art

[0002] When performing high-pressure pressure maintenance testing on the cylinder interface of special gas supply equipment (gas cylinder cabinets, gas cylinder racks, bulk special gas supply systems) after replacing the cylinder, it is greatly affected by the ambient temperature. In particular, the ambient temperature changes in the bulk silane supply system in an open silane station often cause the high-pressure leak detection function to fail.

[0003] According to the investigation, the special gas supply equipment GCBSGS in the United States, France, Japan, South Korea and China do not have the high-pressure leakage detection compensation function. During the pressure test, the pressure data is directly read and a deviation value is set, without considering the influence of temperature on the pressure test.

[0004] The pressure test of the flammable, explosive, toxic and harmful special gas cylinder cabinet is greatly affected by temperature after each cylinder change, especially in summer and winter. Especially for natural silane gas, the silane station is an open building, and the pressure test of the bulk silane supply system is most affected by temperature. The pressure test results of the existing silane BSGS system after changing the cylinder often fail. The only way to do the pressure test on site is to rely on experience to re-do the pressure test or use other methods to detect whether the cylinder joint has leakage.

[0005] Therefore, a high-pressure leak detection and compensation device for special gas supply needs to be studied urgently. Summary of the invention

[0008] As an improvement, the process gas outlet is connected to one end of the parallel cylinder joint pipeline close to the two-way manual valve through a pressure sensor and a two-way manual valve.
