Abstract

See full text

A low pressure fluctuation control apparatus comprises a liquid recirculation loop comprising a dip tube, a diaphragm or bellows type pump, a first regulator, a first flow meter, a junction, and a return tube. A back pressure controller is located in the return tube. In addition, the apparatus comprises a material supply line fluidly connected the liquid recirculation loop via the junction. A flow control system is located in the material supply line. The recirculation loop draws liquid from a supply container by the dip tube, and returns a portion of the liquid to the supply container by the return tube. The backpressure flow controller regulates the flow rate of the liquid, thereby steadying fluctuations in the liquid being supplied.
