International ClassesF24F 011/00C23C 016/00 AbstractGenerally, A system for providing fluid flow through a structural arrangement is described. Specifically, a containment system for a modular gas system is described.In the present invention, air flow enters an encasement entry port. The air travel through a channel to a mounting plane enter surface area. The air flow is directed through the mounting plane and then through the modular gas system. From there, air flow is directed within an encasement towards an exit port. The air then enters a capture system which contains any gas that may have escaped the gas system and vents off purified air.In an alternate embodiment, the channel couples the gas system exit surface area to the exit port. In another alternate embodiment, the channel couples the mounting plane exit surface area to the exit port. In yet another embodiment, the channel couples the entry port to the gas system enter surface area.Additionally, many details that may apply to any of the above embodiments or an embodiment of the present invention are described. These include, a small cross sectional area entrance port to maximize intake air flow, a plugs for openings in the mounting plane that reside beneath wide gaps in the gas system, passages in the channel sidewalls to remove dead spots in the encasement, additional entrance ports to allow the removal of various dead spots within the encasement.Field of SearchGAS OR VAPOR DEPOSITIONPROCESSES With control of flow by a condition or characteristic of a fluid By speed of fluid By fluid pressure Involving pressure control CONVERTIBLE Units interchangeable between alternate locations Sectional block structure Unit orientable in a single location between plural positions With electrical component cooling Foraminous gas distributor flow connected to cooler unit | |
