Abstract
An apparatus is provided for the storage and dispensing of a sorbable gas. The apparatus includes a storage and dispensing vessel constructed and arranged for containing a solid-phase physical sorbent medium having a sorbable gas adsorbed by said sorbent medium. The dispensing vessel includes a top head having a dispensing valve coupled to the vessel for discharging the sorbable gas therefrom. The dispensing valve is in fluid flow communication with a wick that extends below the upper third of the vessel top head. The wick collects the sorbable gas for discharge of the gas through the dispensing valve.
