Definitions

  • the invention relates to vacuum technology and in particular to cryogenic adsorption pumps and can be used to generate an ultra-pure oil-free vacuum in a pressure range of 10 2 to 10- 7 Pa when evacuating any gases, except helium, including more aggressive, in chambers of various purposes with a volume of 0.01 m 3 can be used up to several hundreds of cubic meters.

  • a disadvantage of this pump is that at the liquid nitrogen temperature the adsorbent has a low sorption capacity at low (below 10 -3 - 10 -4 Pa) equilibrium pressures of the adsorbable gases. Therefore, the pump cannot achieve limit pressures below 10- 3 Pa even after a brief gas exposure.
  • the adsorbent is cooled by solid nitrogen up to a temperature of 55-50 K.
  • a cryogenic adsorption pump is also known (Zhurnal tekhniche.skoi fiziki, Volume 28, Issue 10, 1988, October, Nauka (Leningrad branch), MP Larin "Kondatsatsionno-adsorptsionnaya i sorbtsionnaya otkachka pri Temperaturakh twerdogo azota", pp. 2026 to 2039) with a housing with a cover , which is provided with an inlet connection for connecting a volume to be evacuated, and the housed in the housing a pumping element and a cooled radiation shield, which surrounds the pumping element.

From above, the rooms are covered by rings. Annular cavities between adjacent frames - porous screens are connected to the inlet connection of the pump.
  • the cryogen container has an annular lid with two tubes, with the help of which cryogen is filled into the container and its vapors are evacuated. The upper ends of these tubes are attached to the housing cover.
  • the adsorbent In order to increase the adsorption capacity of a pump, which is one of the most essential pumping characteristics of the pump, the adsorbent should occupy as large a volume as possible in the present pump dimensions and to increase the effectiveness of the pump the surface of the adsorbent and the porous screens should be as large as possible.
  • cavities are enclosed with an adsorbent through the vessel of the pumping element, with the exception of an outer cavity which is connected to the outer side surface of the vessel.

  • All surfaces of the pump elements with the exception of surfaces of the arrow screens 17 and 26, which face the volume to be evacuated, have a two-layer coating made of a dense aluminum layer with a thickness of not less than 1 ⁇ m and an aluminum oxide layer with a thickness of 2 to 20 nm.
  • the arrow screens 17 and 26 have a coating with a .thickness not less than 150 microns with a degree of blackening not less than 0.99 in a wavelength range 2 to 200 microns.

  • a cryogen for example liquid nitrogen, is filled into the vessel 15 of the radiation shield via the tube 18.
  • the adsorbent which is located in the annular recess 29 of the frame 16, also cools, which results in a pressure drop in the space 27 of up to 10 -4 to 10- 5 Pa and below and a strong reduction in heat exchange by residual gases caused between the housing 1 and the radiation shield.
