Patent ID: 8578958

Claim:
A system for mitigating leaks, comprising: a fluid source; an injector; a regulator disposed between the fluid source and the injector; a system isolation valve disposed between the regulator and the injector; a first line connecting the fluid source to the regulator; a second line connecting the regulator to the system isolation valve, the second line having a second volume; a bleed valve fluidly connecting a pressure relief valve to the second line; a third line connecting the system isolation valve to the injector, the third line having a third volume; wherein the combined second volume and third volume is configured to reduce an initial pressure of a fluid in the first line to a distribution pressure when the system isolation valve is opened; wherein the system isolation valve is configured to open if the distribution pressure is equal to a target pressure for the injector; and, wherein the pressure relief valve is configured to vent the fluid in the second line if the bleed valve is open.
