A gas panel comprising a plurality of discreet blocks. The gas panel of the present invention includes a first functional component coupled to a first face of a first block wherein the first face has a first port configuration. A second functional component coupled to a first face of a second block wherein the first face of the second block has the first port configuration and wherein the first functional component is different than the second functional component.

Building blocks for integrated gas panel

A mounting plane technology for a gas panel comprising a plurality of discreet blocks. The mounting plane of the present invention includes a track and a centering element. The centering element glides along the tracks such that modular blocks may be anchored to any position along the track. Centering elements are easily added to and removed form tracks thus maximizing the speed and flexibility of configuring or reconfiguring the modular blocks. The centering element and track have a geometrical symmetry that allows for highly precise anchoring of the modular block with respect to the mounting plane. The centering element is harder than the plane material and has grooves to increase the friction between the plane and centering element when the modular block is anchored. Centering elements are deliberately manufactured with a slight asymmetry with respect to the track so that high manufacturing yield is guaranteed. Tracks have devices that enable the centering elements to hold their place against undesired forces.

Mounting plane for integrated gas panel

Generally, 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.
