  • Patent number: 11629822
    Abstract: A gas dispensing system includes a frame configured to house multiple rows of gas cylinders, a common gas manifold fluidically coupled to a gas outlet for dispensing of gas from the gas cylinders, a gas manifold for each row of gas cylinders configured to be fluidically coupled to each cylinder in the row by a respective dispensing valve, a vent manifold for each row of gas cylinders, in which the vent manifold for a given row of gas cylinders is configured to be fluidically coupled to each cylinder in the row via a respective vent valve, in which each vent valve is configured to open when a temperature on the vent valve exceeds a threshold temperature, and a common vent manifold, in which each vent manifold is fluidically coupled to the common vent manifold.
