Re: Diffusion Pump Design & Construction

Hello

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.

Thanks and look forward to your responses.
Bill
