  • Patent number: 6923007
    Abstract: A system and method of pumping liquified gas. Applicants systems includes a liquified gas storage vessel and a smaller high pressure high pressure liquified gas storage cylinder. Applicant provides a pump between the two vessels for pumping the liquified gas from one vessel to the other. Applicants system also includes at least one heat exchanger through which the liquified gas passes as it is pumped from one vessel to the other, which heat exchanger cools the liquified gas that is being pumped to a temperature typically below the vaporization point of the gas.

  • Patent number: 6907900
    Abstract: A fitting for engagement with a cylindrical compressed gas bottle. The fitting includes a valve for regulating gas between a regulated port of the body of the fitting and an outlet port of the body of the fitting. The body of the fitting is cylindrical and dimensioned to be hand held, the fitting includes a handle for pivotal engagement with the body, the handle to control the flow of gas from the outlet port.

  • Patent number: 6729860
    Abstract: Applicant provides a novel liquified booster pump. The pump takes high pressure boosted gas to a higher pressure. The pump is a pneumatically driven liquified gas booster pump with a shuttle valve enclosed within a body of the pump. Furthermore, the gas which is use to be boosted is carried from an inlet on the body of the pump to an outlet on the body of the pump, the boosted gas being carried entirely within the body of the pump with no external tubing. The pneumatically driven booster pump has a double ended piston within the central body and at least one shuttle valve incorporated in the piston for transferring gas from one side of the piston to the other.

  • Patent number: 6340034
    Abstract: A device for regulating gas pressure comprising a regulator body, the regulator body having walls defining a single high pressure inlet port and walls defining at least two regulated ports. The regulator body further comprising a high pressure manifold for providing gas to the regulated ports at the pressure it is received at from the high pressure port. The outlet pressure at the regulated ports is independently regulated.

  • Patent number: 5899221
    Abstract: A fluid pressure regulator capable of adjustably setting a cut-off pressure between an upper and a lower limit having a two-piece valve body where the two pieces are threadably joined such that adjusting the distance between the two pieces (34, 54) of the valve body moves a piston (12) stem valve operating a high pressure port (40) towards or away from the high pressure port while not changing the distance between a spring (84) engaging the piston (12) and the piston head (14).
