Abstract: A method of manufacturing a gas mixture of at least two components. Oxygen, nitrogen, helium, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and carbon monoxide are all suitable for use as components in this method. Defined amounts of the components are dynamically mixed in order to obtain a first gas mixture at a first pressure less than 200 bar. The first gas mixture contains an intermediate amount of the second component which is less than the amount desired in the final gas mixture. A first component is then added to the first gas mixture to concomitantly dilute the second component. The addition of the first component is stopped when the pressure of the diluted gas mixture reaches a second pressure greater than both the first pressure and 170 bar, and when the diluted gas mixture contains the desired final proportion of the second component.

Abstract: A process for the dynamic manufacture and packaging of gas mixtures containing a first component and a second component in predefined proportions, the first and second components being chosen from the group formed by O2, N2, He and N2O, in which predetermined proportions of the first and second components are dynamically mixed in order to obtain a gas mixture of the desired composition and the temperature of the mixture is adjusted in order to keep it above the demixing threshold temperature of the mixture. This process is particularly suitable for the production of analgesic gas mixtures that can be used in the medical field, particularly a mixture formed from 50% oxygen and 50% nitrous oxide.
