  • Publication number: 20130105006
    Abstract: A purge system built with a purge box, pipes, valves, and a manifold panel. Apart from ventilation systems in ordinary gas cabinets, it is characterized by minimizing hazards through safe exhaust of toxic and reactive gases and through prevention of explosion and fire with complete cutoff of air (oxygen, in particular) in case of contamination and leakage arising in such pipes, valves and manifold panel involved in purging inert gases (Ar and N2). The purge box can preferably block external air from a joint area connecting gas pipes and a gas container, such as a cylinder, which is prone to leakage and contamination due to frequent attachments and detachments. In addition, a supply valve of the hazardous reactive chemical is closed, to avoid further releases. Physical and chemical damages resulting from attaching and detaching a cylinder mounted on a gas supply facility including existing or separate gas cabinets can be prevented.
