A gas storage and delivery system for restoring pressure as it is depleted
from a pressurized container, includes a container holding a product
under pressure to be dispensed from the container, a quantity of gaseous
material under pressure, occupying a space in the container and applying
to the product a predetermined pressure of from about 30 to about 180
psig, and a quantity of gas-adsorbing material, storing under pressure a
quantity of the gaseous material and releasing it into the container in
response to a decrease in pressure in the container, thereby restoring
and maintaining a predetermined pressure in the container as product is
depleted from the container, wherein the gas-adsorbing material is wetted
with a release-promoting agent to promote release of the sorbed gas from
the gas-adsorbent material. A process of filling the container is also
disclosed.
