[0002] In various industries such as electronics and semiconductors, grinding fluid has the problem of crystallization. Crystallization of grinding fluid can easily lead to unstable grinding rate and increased wafer defects and scratches, which in turn affects product yield. The grinding fluid mixing supply system equipment used in semiconductor wafer manufacturing must meet the following requirements: ultra-high cleanliness; no metal ion precipitation; no crystallization, flocculation, stratification and other problems; all pipelines and barrels have self-cleaning function; high degree of automation. Using dry N2 for gas replenishment cannot avoid or reduce the risk of crystallization, blockage of pipelines, and affect flow and pressure. Therefore, a humidifying barrel gas replenishment device is proposed. Summary of the invention
