  • Apparatus for controlling the rate of composition change of a fluid
    Patent number: 5277166
    Abstract: A reservoir in which fluid entering the reservoir is mixed with fluid already present in the reservoir is provided. The mixed fluid is then drawn from the reservoir in such a manner that the fluid drawn from the reservoir has a composition which closely approximates the average composition of the fluid in the reservoir. In this manner, the rate of composition change of fluid released from the reservoir is less than the rate of compositional change of fluid entering the reservoir.
