Neither type of pump can be considered ideal for pumping water vapor under all conditions, but it is necessary to think about how much water vapor needs to be pumped and how the system is to be cycled.
As water vapor is slowly desorbed and pumped away to about 1 x [10.sup.-8] torr, the pumpdown enters the hydrogen ([H.sub.2]) zone.
Pumping specific gases in high vacuum: there's more to planning and designing a vacuum process pumping system than just maximizing pumping speed
Although higher power than we have obtained has been reported for arc-lamp pumped Nd:LMA lasers [14], we have found that the attainable performance is variable and seems to be linked to the quality of each laser rod.
Milner, Optically pumped polarized H, D, and [He.sup.3] gas targets, Annu.
Compressing Spin-Polarized [He.sup.3] With a Modified Diaphragm Pump
Cryogenic pumps function by sorption of the pumped gases at low temperature, usually by a phase change that "freezes" the gas or by enhanced sorption of light gases into molecular sieve or charcoal beds.
This means that they have a pumping capacity limited by the amount of active metal that can come into contact with the gas to be pumped. In both cases, the exception to the permanent capacity is hydrogen, which is pumped by forming a solid solution within the getter material.
Matching vacuum pump to process: choosing the best pump for a vacuum process can be a daunting experience, but a systematic review of the process requirements and the performance parameters of the available pumps can help make the best choice. (Vacuum Technology)
Whilst for certain applications and duties there are areas where both pump types could be employed, careful consideration has to be given to the nature of the media being pumped and the expectations required of the pumps before a final decision should be made.
Addressing sensitive pumping challenges: PWE spoke to Cliff Warne, UK sales manager at Axflow, to discuss the differences between Rotary Lobe and ECP pump technologies
The roughing pump can be connected to the chamber through a separate pumping line and valve, and the chamber can be pumped down to the specified pressure before the valve is closed to terminate the roughing part of the pumpdown process.
Since ambient air always contains some water vapor, the roughing/backing pump will condense a certain amount of water vapor or other condensable gases within it as the pumped gases flow through and are compressed.
Careful Consideration Means Getting the Right Pump
Pump and motor selection should ensure high-efficiency values, aiming for lowest possible energy consumption per volume of pumped fluid.
Specifying centrifugal pumps: Kevin Lacey of Brammer, examines key criteria in centrifugal pump selection and options available for creating an energy-efficient, low maintenance, pumping solution
Most inert gases are pumped on the anode structure and at the peripheral areas of the cathode where the sputtering rate is so low that total re-emission does not occur.
Ion Pumps Provide Clean UHV Environments
Secondly, since there is no accumulation of chemicals in a chemical scroll pump, ionization of the chemicals being pumped does not occur.
Chemical Scroll Pumps Are Ideal for Lab Applications
So you need to choose a diaphragm pump whose pumping speed is appropriate for the volume being pumped, to ensure that it doesn't take forever to pump down the chamber to the point where the turbo can be turned on.
Choosing a Diaphragm Pump for a Turbo
The backstreaming rate is the rate at which the pumping fluid vapor leaves the inlet opening of the pump in the direction of the system being pumped. It is measured in mg/[cm.sup.2]/unit time and varies, among other things, with the type of fluid employed.
Diffusion pumps remain workhorses
Here, about 80% of the 27-km ring is pumped by a linear NEG pump consisting of the St-101 alloy bonded as a powder to a constantan ribbon by cold pressing.
