The recommended gas flow maintains a pressure
into the pump body higher than the forevacuum
pressure.
1. Purge gas line
2. Pressure regulator
3. Gas purge valve
4. Gas purge port
5. Forevacuum pump
6. Turbopump
7. Vent valve
The recommended procedure to vent the system
and the pump avoiding the contact between the
pump bearings and the corrosive gas is described
in the following points:
1.
Close the corrosive gas flow into the system.
2.
Leaving the Turbo-V pump and the backing
pump running and the purge gas flowing, wait
for enough time to evacuate the corrosive gas
from the system.
3.
Open the Turbo-V vent port slowly until to
reach atmospheric pressure in the system.
4.
Turn off the Turbopump.
5.
When the Turbo-V pump and the backing
pump are stopped and the system is at at-
mospheric pressure, for a better bearing pro-
tection it is advisable to leave the purge gas
flowing into the Turbo-V pump, with the
chamber or the Turbo-V vent valve opened, to
avoid system overpressures.
If the vent valve can't be kept opened, the
backing pump should be left operating.
PUMP USED IN PRESENCE OF MAGNETIC
FIELDS
Magnetic fields induce eddy currents in the rotor of
a turbomolecular pump that tend to oppose to its
rotation.
The result is increased electrical power consump-
tion by the motor, most of which is dissipated in
the rotor.
Since the rotor is not in contact with the stator the
above power can leave the rotor mainly by radia-
tion and hence the rotor may be overheated while
static parts of the pump remain cool.
This effect is strongly dependant from the inten-
sity, time function and distribution of the magnetic
field.
In general, therefore, an increase in pump current
can be expected.
If this increase is lower than 50% of the current
value drawn by the motor in high vacuum opera-
tion, no particular problem should be expected.
However if the effect is grater, than the case
should be carefully reviewed by Varian's specialist.
As a matter of fact, in case of high magnetic fields,
also important forces might be generated and ap-
plied to the rotor.
