ABSTRACT:
An automatic changeover manifold is described which permits an uninterrupted supply of fluid, for example, cryogenic liquified gas, from a source to a fluid delivery conduit. Liquid flow is controlled by solenoid-operated on-off valves which are switched from an open-condition to a closed-condition in response to a detected low pressure condition. When flow ceases in one feed line, the solenoid-operated valve in the other feed lines opens. The electrical circuit prevents both solenoid-operated valves from being open at the same time, provided an electric current is present in the circuit.
