Trifecta® Laser Assist Gas Systems

Trifecta® delivers a continuous supply of laser assist gas at pressures up to 550 psig and flow rates up to 30,000 scf/hr.

Trifecta^® Gas Supply System

Trifecta features twin liquid cylinders and automatic pressure switching. It operates by drawing liquid from a standard bulk tank into one of its cylinders and then boosts the liquid pressure with a high performance pressure builder. During this time, the other cylinder is delivering liquid to an external ambient vaporizer that feeds the application. Once this cylinder is empty it vents back to the bulk tank and to atmosphere, preparing itself for a refill. This two-cylinder, four-stroke (Fill, Pressure Build, Delivery, Vent) system works automatically to provide the application with a continuous supply of pure gas.

Features and Advantages

• Continuous operation
• Zero downtime during liquid delivery - system maintains pressure and flow when the bulk tank is filled
• Eliminates high pressure pumps, compressors, cylinder cradles and surge tanks
• Utilizes standard medium pressure tanks (175 or 250 psig) - typically part of standard inventory hence current assets are used with the system
• Pressure switching between cylinders reduces product loss and pressure decay
• Robust design and construction including stainless steel vessels and piping mounted to a painted carbon steel frame with protective top cover
• Increased durability and reliability - just 5 control valves with integrated PLC 
• Compact footprint
• Simplified installation and start-up
• Available for nitrogen, oxygen and argon service (Inconel and copper are used as required in oxygen service in accordance with CGA guidelines)

Trifecta^® Models and Specifications

The Trifecta® Gas Supply System can be field retrofitted with the addition of stand-alone pressure build (PB) vaporizer kits. These kits are designed as a means to increase the pressure build capacity of the standard Trifecta models in order to support higher flowrates for durations exceeding 8 to 10 hour days. Stand-alone pressure build vaporizers come in both electric and ambient models.
