Actually this is in work¡. Hmmm did not really think it
was that lager (8.25 CuFt.)
A turbo would be awesome but the cost is ¡ well ???? So for
now a Diffusion will have to do. Looking at a 6¡±, but will be adequate
for reasonable pump downs( 1-2 hours)?
Will check out your link and review
Thanks
Bill

I would be more concerned about getting
the chamber before thinking about the pumps.? A 36¡± diameter chamber
is not a trivial thing.? Do you already have one ??? ??I
searched ebay for a year before I found something that big to use and then it
was a year more to re-condition it.? ??
?
I suggest a turbo pump for the high end
and a really big bad mechanical for the atmospheric ?to low
evacuating.? I run a Leybold ??similar to this ?
but 3 phase.? My chamber is bigger than you are thinking about but your
chamber will take a pump this big or many many hours of a smaller one.?

Hello Group
This is my first posting to the group.
I am in the process of preliminary thoughts relating to a coating system. I was
looking for information to look at designing and constructing a diffusion pump
verses purchasing one, off coarse sizing is part of the process to. The size of
the containment is or will be 36" in diameter @ 14 inches in depth, so
approximately 8.25 sq.ft. internal volume minus internal components.
I have at my disposal a reasonably complete machine shop so this aspect is
complete.
So that being said....
1. Is there a rule of thumb for sizing the Roughing pump for reasonable pump
and makeup due to degassing time?
2. Same Q relating to the diffusion pump?
3. More Q's guaranteed, relating to instrumentation etc.
