Abstract: A fluid delivery system includes a manifold plate having an upper surface, four vertical sides, and a lower surface opposite the upper surface, where the manifold plate includes a gas inlet, a gas outlet, and a plurality of component receiving stations, one or more component receiving stations located on the upper surface and two or more component receiving stations located on the lower surface. The manifold plate also includes a plurality of internal fluid passageways interconnecting the gas inlet, the plurality of component receiving stations, and the gas outlet. The system also includes a plurality of active fluid components, one active fluid component coupled to a corresponding one component receiving station on the manifold plate. The fluid delivery system can be configured having a single channel or a dual channel.

Abstract: This disclosure describes a modular, monolithic pump-purge system which can be integrated into a modular, monolithic fluid handling system without creating a closed tolerance loop. In particular, the pump-purge system comprises a plurality of valves mounted on a modular and monolithic manifold which can be attached to the modular, monolithic fluid handling system. At least a portion, and preferably all of the fluid transfer conduits necessary for either applying a vacuum (or other evacuation means) to a fluid handling system conduit which is to be evacuated (pumped), or for transfer of flushing fluid within a conduit (purging) are present within monolithic manifolds of the fluid handling system. The modular, monolithic manifold of the pump-purge system contains openings and fluid flow conduits which correspond with openings and fluid flow conduits of the modular, monolithic fluid handling system, to enable evacuation or flushing of a selected fluid flow conduit within the fluid handling system.

Abstract: A removable insulation jacket for a fluid carrying conduit includes an inner backing layer preformed to securely fit around the conduit. Insulation material is affixed to the inner backing layer and joined to an outer shell. The insulation jacket is placed around the conduit by engaging the insulation jacket with the conduit along an axial opening formed along the length of the insulation jacket, and the opening is then sealed at the outer shell to secure the insulation material about the conduit. The insulation jacket is pleated to conform to bends and curves that may occur along the length of the conduit.
