Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

Condenser can condense and remove water vapor by reducing gas temperature, with low impact on gas flow, but condenser cooling will change the pressure of carbon dioxide, affecting its accurate ratio with argon.

The cold trap 5 and the thermostat 6 are arranged in sequence along the gas flow direction between the balance valve 3 and the proportioning valve 4 on the carbon dioxide conveying pipeline 2.

[0024] The two kinds of gases to be mixed enter the balance valve 3 through the argon conveying pipeline 1 and the carbon dioxide conveying pipeline 2 respectively. The balance valve 3 is used for coordinating the flow of the two kinds of gases by controlling the open size, improving the mixing ratio precision of the two kinds of gases, and then entering the respective pipelines respectively. The carbon dioxide gas enters the cold trap 5, which preliminarily cools the carbon dioxide, reduces the temperature of the carbon dioxide, and removes water vapor through condensation. The gas treated by the cold trap 5 further enters the thermostat 6, which warms the gas to normal temperature or isothermal state with argon, reduces the pressure fluctuation caused by temperature reduction, and improves the gas mixing and proportioning precision of the proportioning valve 4. The system can realize high-precision proportioning of the mixed gas through multi-stage processing. The combination of the cold trap 5 and the thermostat 6 can not only effectively remove the water vapor in the carbon dioxide, but also eliminate the pressure imbalance caused by the temperature difference of the gas, ensure the stability of the gas mixing ratio, and thus improve the quality and process effect of the output gas.

[0025] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the utility model embodiment, the thermostat 6 includes a heating component 61 and a coil component 62. The heating component 61 controls the temperature of the coil component 62 through a thermal resistor or an infrared heating device. The two ends of the coil component 62 are communicated with the carbon dioxide conveying pipeline 2. The coil component 62 increases the flow path of the carbon dioxide gas through the coil structure, so that the carbon dioxide gas has sufficient temperature adjustment time, and thus the carbon dioxide gas output by the thermostat 6 is kept in the ideal temperature range, the influence of the temperature difference on the pressure is eliminated, and the accuracy of the gas mixing ratio is ensured.

[0026] A temperature detector 63 is arranged at the output end of the coil component 62. The temperature detector 63 is used for monitoring the output temperature of the carbon dioxide gas in real time, and feeding back the data to the control system to adjust the power or temperature parameter of the heating component 61. Through the temperature detector 63, the gas temperature is monitored and controlled in real time, the stability of the gas temperature and the reliability of the gas mixing system are further improved, and the error caused by the temperature fluctuation is reduced.

[0028] The control pressure gauge 7 is arranged between the thermostat 6 and the proportioning valve 4, which is used to monitor the pressure change of the carbon dioxide gas after the thermostat treatment in real time, and correct or prompt the pressure fluctuation. Through the control pressure gauge 7, the pressure state of the gas can be grasped in real time, the pressure of the carbon dioxide gas entering the proportioning valve 4 is ensured to be stable, and feedback is provided for the temperature control of the thermostat 6.

The one-way valve 24 is located between the balance valve 3 and the cold trap 5, which ensures the one-way flow of the gas flow and prevents the backflow of the gas cooled by the cold trap 5 from interfering with the pressure control of the whole system.
