  • Publication number: 20220251678
    Abstract: A method of removing hydrogen interstitially dissolved within an object can include: positioning a sorption pad having a contact surface and comprising a sorptive material; urging the contact surface into metallurgical contact with the first target surface while at a treatment temperature that is greater than about 200 degrees Celsius; c) maintaining the metallurgical contact for a treatment period during which the hydrogen migrates from the target object to the sorptive material; and at the conclusion of the treatment period, separating the contact surface from the first target surface and moving the sorption pad and any hydrogen sequestered therein away from the object.

  • Patent number: 10674838
    Abstract: A refrigerated merchandiser including a case defining a product display area configured to support product, a refrigeration circuit in which a refrigerant circulates, and a dilution device coupled to the refrigeration circuit. The dilution device includes a valve assembly and a container supporting a pressurized fluid. The valve assembly is in fluid communication with the refrigeration circuit and is selectively variable to an open state to fluidly couple the container to the refrigeration circuit such that the fluid is discharged into the refrigeration circuit in response to a condition of the refrigeration circuit reaching or exceeding a predetermined threshold value.
