An enclosure is filled with a filling gas according to the disclosed method. An enclosure is provided having an interior, a width, a height, a thickness, and fluid filling and exit holes fluidly communicating with the interior. Filling of the enclosure is commenced by directing a flow of the filling gas at a filling flow rate into the fluid filling hole. An oxygen concentration of gas exiting the fluid exit hole is sensed. The filling of the enclosure is stopped when the sensed oxygen concentration reaches a threshold concentration, wherein the threshold oxygen concentration and/or the filling flow rate are selected by a Decision Support Tool based upon the width, height, and/or the thickness.

1. A method of filling an enclosure with a filling gas, comprising the steps of: providing an enclosure having an interior, a width, a height, a thickness, and fluid filling and exit holes fluidly communicating with the interior;commencing filling of the enclosure by directing a flow of the filling gas at a filling flow rate into the fluid filling hole, wherein both the filling flow rate and the threshold oxygen concentration are selected by the Decision Support Tool based upon the width, height, and/or the thickness;sensing an oxygen concentration of gas exiting the fluid exit hole; andstopping said filling of the enclosure when the sensed oxygen concentration reaches a threshold concentration, wherein the threshold oxygen concentration and/or the filling flow rate are selected by a Decision Support Tool based upon the width, height, and/or the thickness;predetermining a minimum concentration of the filling gas to be obtained inside the enclosure;predetermining a maximum percent loss of the filling gas to occur during said filling, wherein the filling flow rate and threshold oxygen concentration selected by the Decision Support tool are further based upon the predetermined minimum concentration and predetermined maximum percent loss. 2. A method of filling an enclosure with a filling gas, comprising the steps of: providing an enclosure having an interior, a width, a height, a thickness, and fluid filling and exit holes fluidly communicating with the interior;commencing filling of the enclosure by directing a flow of the filling gas at a filling flow rate into the fluid filling hole;sensing an oxygen concentration of gas exiting the fluid exit hole; and stopping said filling of the enclosure when the sensed oxygen concentration reaches a threshold concentration, wherein the threshold oxygen concentration and/or the filling flow rate are selected by a Decision Support Tool based upon the width, height, and/or the thickness,predetermining a minimum concentration of the filling gas to be obtained inside the enclosure, wherein the filling flow rate or threshold oxygen concentration selected by the Decision Support Tool is further based upon the predetermined minimum filling gas concentration. 3. A method of filling an enclosure with a filling gas, comprising the steps of: providing an enclosure having an interior, a width, a height, a thickness, and fluid filling and exit holes fluidly communicating with the interior;commencing filling of the enclosure by directing a flow of the filling gas at a filling flow rate into the fluid filling hole;sensing an oxygen concentration of gas exiting the fluid exit hole; and stopping said filling of the enclosure when the sensed oxygen concentration reaches a threshold concentration, wherein the threshold oxygen concentration and/or the filling flow rate are selected by a Decision Support Tool based upon the width, height, and/or the thickness,further comprising the step of predetermining a maximum percent loss of the filling gas to occur during said filling, wherein the filling flow rate or threshold oxygen concentration selected by the Decision Support Tool is further based upon the predetermined maximum percent loss. 4. A method of filling an enclosure with a filling gas, comprising the steps of: providing an enclosure having an interior, a width, a height, a thickness, and fluid filling and exit holes fluidly communicating with the interior;commencing filling of the enclosure by directing a flow of the filling gas at a filling flow rate into the fluid filling hole;sensing an oxygen concentration of gas exiting the fluid exit hole; and stopping said filling of the enclosure when the sensed oxygen concentration reaches a threshold concentration, wherein the threshold oxygen concentration and/or the filling flow rate are selected by a Decision Support Tool based upon the width, height, and/or the thickness,further comprising the step of predetermining a maximum filling duration defined by a time interval between said commencement and stopping of the filling, wherein the filling flow rate or threshold oxygen concentration selected by the Decision Support Tool is further based upon the predetermined maximum filling duration. 5. A method of filling an enclosure with a filling gas, comprising the steps of: providing an enclosure having an interior, a width, a height, a thickness, and fluid filling and exit holes fluidly communicating with the interior;commencing filling of the enclosure by directing a flow of the filling gas at a filling flow rate into the fluid filling hole;sensing an oxygen concentration of gas exiting the fluid exit hole; and stopping said filling of the enclosure when the sensed oxygen concentration reaches a threshold concentration, wherein the threshold oxygen concentration and/or the filling flow rate are selected by a Decision Support Tool based upon the width, height, and/or the thickness,further comprising the step of applying a vacuum to the fluid exit hole, wherein:the threshold oxygen concentration is selected by the Decision Support Tool based upon the width, height, and/or the thickness;the filling flow rate is predetermined based upon a filling flow rate selected by an operator that compensates for the increase in the flow of filling gas through the enclosure that is produced by said vacuum application.
