Patent ID: 8221532

Claim:
A gas supply package, comprising a vessel, a valve head assembly coupled to the vessel, and a carbon adsorbent in an interior volume of the vessel, wherein the carbon adsorbent having porosity expanded by contact with a first agent effecting such expansion and a pressurized second agent effecting transport of the first agent into said porosity, wherein the adsorbent subsequent to removal of said first and second agents retains expanded porosity, and wherein the gas supply package is characterized by at least one of the features of: (i) the carbon adsorbent being in the form of multiple monolithic adsorbent articles in a stacked arrangement, and the vessel having a positional stabilization structure in the interior volume to retain the monolithic adsorbent articles in position and restrain their movement in relation to one another and in relation to the vessel; and (ii) an electrical power assembly arranged to input electrical energy to the carbon adsorbent for resistive and/or inductive heating thereof to effect desorption of fluid from the carbon adsorbent.
