Classification: CPC B  G | IPC B  G

Claim 11:
12. A system for dispensing a fluid, comprising:
a gas source for supplying pressurization gas to a head space of a first vessel containing the fluid and generating a flow of fluid to a dispensing vessel having a fluid inlet in an upper portion thereof;
a transfer line configured to direct the flow of fluid into the dispensing vessel; and
a de-bubbling slide in the dispensing vessel configured to receive the flow of fluid at a fluid receiving element at an upper end of the de-bubbling slide, the receiving element having a bowl shape, the de-bubbling slide is configured to direct the flow of the fluid to a flow surface, and to delay collection of the flow of fluid in a lower volume of the dispensing vessel, wherein the de-bubbling slide has at least one opening therein configured to allow gas dissolved in the flow of fluid, or bubbles in the flow of fluid to escape the de-bubbling slide, and bubbles and dissolved gases in the flow of fluid exit the fluid while moving along the de-bubbling slide to the lower volume of the dispensing vessel, wherein
the de-bubbling slide further comprises dispersing bump protrusions on an upper surface of the fluid receiving element to promote spreading of the fluid across the upper surface of the fluid receiving element before directing the flow of fluid into the de-bubbling slide, and the dispersing bump protrusions surround an output of the fluid receiving element.
