Subject: Gas Mixing Stations

To anyone who is pumping mixed gas from a retail store:

Slowly but surely we are making progress on the Abyss Gas Mixing section.

I have arrived at the point where we need to build several "hypothetical"
gas mixing stations.
What we are trying to do is to quantify the movement of gas through the
entire system before it arrives at the cylinder being filled.

I need to know....

A. Storage bank temps (are they at ambient temp, or are they cooled in some
manner?)

B. Storage Bank pressures for the various gases you maintain.

C. Typical presures before entering the gas booster and upon exiting it.

D. Tuff one, Line size on entering the booster and upon exiting the booster
(we are trying to do a temp calc following compression) 

E. After boosting, does the gas go straight into the diving cylinder, or do
you store the gas in a HP vessel.

F. If we call out a specific fill rate, say 111PSI/Min, how accurately can
you match it??


This information will greatly assist us in moving forward towards our final
goal of being able to predict final proceedures for obtaining a specific gas
mix in a cylinder.


Your help as always in much appreciated.
