Abstract: A safe, reduced pressure apparatus for generating water vapor from hydrogen and oxygen and feeding high purity moisture to processes such as semiconductor production. The apparatus eliminates the possibility of the gas igniting by maintaining the internal pressure of the catalytic reactor for generating moisture at a high level while supplying moisture gas from the reactor under reduced pressure. A heat dissipation reactor improvement substantially increases moisture generation without being an enlargement in size by efficient cooling of the reactor alumite-treated fins.

Abstract: A reactor for generating moisture wherein ignition of hydrogen gas, backfire to the gas supply source side, the peeling off of the platinum coat catalyst layer inside are prevented more completely to further increase the safety of the reactor for generating moisture and wherein the dead space in the interior space is reduced to further reduce the size of the reactor shell.

Abstract: A reactor for generating moisture wherein ignition of hydrogen gas, backfire to the gas supply source side, and the peeling off of the platinum coat catalyst layer inside are all prevented more completely to further increase the safety of the reactor for generating moisture, and wherein the dead space in the interior space is reduced to further reduce the size of the reactor shell. The reactor has a reactor shell A with an interior space; a reflector on an inlet side facing a gas feed port in the interior space of the reactor; a reflector on an outlet side facing a moisture gas take-out port in the interior space; and a platinum coat catalyst layer 8 formed on an inside wall of a reactor structural component on the outlet side. Hydrogen and oxygen fed into the interior space of the reactor react without combustion.

Abstract: A method of removing moisture efficiently in the gas supply system by evacuation at normal temperature without using the baking method. The method involves flowing a gas to remove moisture in the gas supply system with the flow pressure of the gas to remove moisture set at not lower than a minimum pressure at which the gas flow becomes viscous and not higher than a water saturated vapor pressure at a flow temperature of the gas to remove moisture. The gas to remove moisture achieves a viscous flow when a mean free path of gas molecules is smaller than a diameter of piping of the gas supply system. If the gas for removing moisture is evacuated at normal temperature under such conditions, the adsorbed moisture on an inside surface of the piping and in the valves and filters can be removed effectively.
