Definitions
- the present invention relates to a secondary pumping unit.
- the pumped gases contain condensable gases and in particular water vapor, also it is known, as illustrated for example in EP-A-610 666, to associate a trap cryogenic to a mechanical secondary pump.
- a trap is, either disposed in parallel, on the enclosure, with the mechanical secondary pump, be arranged in series with the pump upstream of its suction.
- the cryogenic trap is cooled by a cryogenerator working according to the Gifford-Mc Mahon or Stirling principle.
- the cycle is carried out using a movable piston.
- a cryogenic generator of the pulsed tube type which has the advantage of having no movable piston and is therefore not the seat no vibration and is simple and economical to build.
- Such generator consists of a compressor, a rotary valve ensuring alternating pressures, of an exchanger-regenerator constituting a mass thermal inertia, a pulsed tube having a hot end and a cold end and a buffer volume connected to the pulsed tube by a valve and to adjust the phase of the gas pressure in the tube relative to the speed of movement of the gas in the tube which is the subject of pressure waves.
- the cold end of the pulsed tube is intimately linked to the thermally conductive surface playing the role of cryogenic trap.
- cryogenerator of this type is described in the article entitled: "Experimental study and modelisation of a pulse tube” pages 9 to 12 of the volume 32 ICEC Supplement to the journal Cryogenics published in 1992.
- the object of the invention is to propose a secondary pumping group, associating a cryogenic trap, having, for speed performance of pumping equal to the solutions mentioned above, less bulk.
- the subject of the invention is therefore a secondary pumping group combining a mechanical secondary pump with a cryogenic trap, characterized in that said cryogenic trap forms a surrounding ring externally the mechanical secondary pump at its suction, said trap being enclosed in a casing delimiting the suction opening, in parallel, the mechanical pump and the cryogenic trap.
- said trap has a U-shaped section the open part of which faces the aspiration.
- the cryogenic trap is cooled by a cryogenic generator of the pulsed tube type surrounding the pump under said trap.
- Figure 1 is a schematic view showing a pumping unit secondary associating a mechanical secondary pump with a trap cryogenic in an arrangement according to the prior art.
- Figure 2 is a schematic view showing a pumping unit secondary according to the invention.
- Figure 3 is a view similar to that of Figure 2, but in which has been shown schematically a particular cryogenerator ensuring the cooling of the cryogenic trap.
- Figure 4 shows a group according to the invention connected to a vacuum chamber and comprising a pressure regulating device.
- a pumping group associating in series a mechanical secondary pump 1 such as a turbomolecular pump for example, and a cryogenic trap 2, a control valve 3 being interposed between pump 1 and cold trap 2.
- a mechanical secondary pump 1 such as a turbomolecular pump for example
- a cryogenic trap 2 a control valve 3 being interposed between pump 1 and cold trap 2.
- a casing 4 naturally surrounds the cold trap 2 and has a flange 5 for the connection of the assembly to a chamber to be emptied, not shown, in which an industrial process is carried out, for example the manufacture of semiconductor components.
- the trap 2 is cooled by a cryogenerator 6 of the moving piston type 7 and compressor 8.
- This arrangement introduces conductance between the pumping and suction of the turbomolecular pump which decreases the speed of effective pumping of the turbomolecular pump.
- FIG. 2 shows the arrangement according to the invention.
- the pump secondary mechanical 1 is associated with a cryogenic trap 2 which surrounds the pump to its suction.
- the trap 2 also has a U-shaped section with the open part facing the suction.
- the trap is enclosed in a casing 4 comprising a connecting flange 5.
- the casing 4 delimits the suction opening, in parallel, of the entire pump mechanical 1 and cold trap 2.
- the cryogenic generator for cooling trap 2 can be identical to that of FIG. 2, however, advantageously used, for its simplicity and its absence of a movable piston thus avoiding any vibration, a cryogenerator of the pulsed tube type as mentioned above.
- this cryogenic generator of the pulsed tube type has its tube pulsed 9 which surrounds the mechanical pump 4 and is located below the trap 2.
- the cold end of the pulsed tube 9 is fixed to the trap 2 by a thermally conductive piece 10.
- the pulsed tube 9 is powered by a compressor 11 through a rotary valve 12 driven by a motor 13, and an exchanger-regenerator 14.
- exchanger-regenerator 14 rotary valve 12 and engine 13 are aligned parallel to the axis ⁇ of the pump.
- Figure 4 shows a device for regulating the pressure in a pumping chamber 15 connected to the pumping group.
- a valve 3 located between the pump 1 and the trap 2.
- this regulation is ensured by a injection of neutral gas, for example argon, inside the pump mechanical secondary 1.
- a supply pipe 16 leading to the pump inlet is supplied with gas.
- a pressure gauge 17 which measures the pressure in chamber 15 is linked to a flow regulator 18.
