Suggestion of flow rate combination for efficient purging, appropriate combination of purging flow rate for argon inerting of the target facility to minimize the total argon volume (“Min(@(x) CMH)” signifies the flow rate “x” that requires minimized total argon volume among the considered five flow rates to achieve the associated saturation level).
