  • Patent number: 11788189
    Abstract: A coating system for coating, with a surface coating process, an interior surface of a housing defining an interior volume, having: a first closure and a second closure to sealingly engage with the housing; one or more first flow lines and second flow lines fluidically coupled to the first and second closure, respectively; a pressurized cell comprising a pressurized gas comprising at least one reactant and at a pressure of greater than a pressure within the housing, wherein the pressurized cell is fluidically coupled to a pressurized cell line comprising one of the first flow lines or second flow lines; and a controller in electronic communication with the pressurized cell and configured to control injection of a pulse of the pressurized gas into a flow of inert gas in the pressurized cell line, whereby the pulse is introduced into the interior volume, coating the interior surface with a coating layer.

  • Patent number: 11788187
    Abstract: A coating system for coating an interior surface of a housing comprising: first and second closures engaging first and second ends, respectively, of the housing to provide an enclosed volume; first and second flow lines coupled to the first and second closures, respectively, the first flow line and/or the second flow line connected to an inert gas source; a reactant gas source(s) comprising a reactant gas and coupled to the first and/or second flow line; and a controller in electronic communication with the reactant gas and inert gas sources, and configured to control flow of inert gas into the enclosed volume, and counter current injection of reactant gas from the reactant gas source(s) into the enclosed volume whereby introduction of pulse(s) of the reactant gas into the enclosed volume are separated by introduction of inert gas into the enclosed volume, and coating layer(s) are deposited on the interior surface.

  • Publication number: 20220282365
    Abstract: A device for coating an interior surface of a housing defining a volume comprising a plurality of reactant gas sources including reactant gases for one or more surface coating processes; first and second closures to sealingly engage with an inlet and outlet of the volume of the housing to provide an enclosed volume; a delivery line fluidically coupled to the first closure and the plurality of reactant gas sources to deliver the reactant gases to the enclosed volume; and an output line fluidically coupled to the second closure to remove one or more reactant gases, byproduct gases, or both from the enclosed volume. A method for coating an interior surface of a housing is also provided.
