Substrate block for fluid delivery system with smooth arc passageway
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11990354B2) discloses a substrate block designed for fluid delivery systems. The substrate block features an upper surface with an inlet substrate port and an outlet substrate port, each defined by a substrate ring and a conical portion extending along specific axes. A substrate fluid passageway connects the ports along an arc with a constant radius, where the inlet and outlet port axes intersect the path but are non-tangent. The unique design ensures efficient fluid flow and connection points that are non-parallel to the upper surface, enhancing performance and reliability.
Moreover, the patent also covers a fluid delivery system incorporating the substrate block and an active component mounted on a back plane. The active component features a component inlet and outlet port, connected to the substrate block's ports through a seal ring with an interior sleeve and outer ring. The alignment of the outlet substrate port and component inlet port, along with the isolation of the active component from the back plane, ensures precise fluid delivery. The substrate block, made of a fluoropolymer material, further includes a cavity and support wall for structural integrity, highlighting the comprehensive design considerations for optimal functionality in fluid delivery applications.
