  • Vacuum – Nothing but Pressure
    By Mike Tuohey, Sales & Marketing Communications Manager, Piab USA Inc. Vacuum – nothing but pressure According to the dictionary, vacuum is a space completely empty of substance. Yet, in engineering, vacuum is employed for a number of tasks. So, how can nothing be utilized to do something? Well, without pressure it wouldn’t work. Vacuum is an ideal and elusive state, and from a practical point of view it is perhaps not necessary to use this theoretical term, once a hot topic among philosophers in ancient Greece, especially since most modern thinkers agree that a complete or perfect vacuum does not exist. Even if all matter could be removed from a volume, it would still not be empty due to dark energy, rays, neutrinos and other phenomena in quantum physics. However, in particle physics, the vacuum state is considered the basic state of matter. In applied physics and engineering, on the other hand, it is probably more helpful to view vacuum as a negative pressure, as this is the force that can be harnessed to do work. The pressure controlled by a vacuum pump can be a powerful force. In a vacuum system, it is the differential between the atmospheric pressure and the vacuum (negative) pressure that creates the ability to lift, hold, move, and perform many types of work. Atmospheric pressure – the pressure we’re all under Atmospheric pressure is the pressure of the weight of the air above us. A cross section of a column of air, measured from sea level to the top of the atmosphere, would exert a pressure of approximately 14.7 pounds per square inch (psi).

  • Introduction to the Principles of Vacuum Physics
    1 INTRODUCTION TO THE PRINCIPLES OF VACUUM PHYSICS Niels Marquardt Institute for Accelerator Physics and Synchrotron Radiation, University of Dortmund, 44221 Dortmund, Germany Abstract Vacuum physics is the necessary condition for scientific research and modern high technology. In this introduction to the physics and technology of vacuum the basic concepts of a gas composed of atoms and molecules are presented. These gas particles are contained in a partially empty volume forming the vacuum. The fundamentals of vacuum, molecular density, pressure, velocity distribution, mean free path, particle velocity, conductivity, temperature and gas flow are discussed. 1. INTRODUCTION — DEFINITION, HISTORY AND APPLICATIONS OF VACUUM The word "vacuum" comes from the Latin "vacua", which means "empty". However, there does not exist a totally empty space in nature, there is no "ideal vacuum". Vacuum is only a partially empty space, where some of the air and other gases have been removed from a gas containing volume ("gas" comes from the Greek word "chaos" = infinite, empty space). In other words, vacuum means any volume containing less gas particles, atoms and molecules (a lower particle density and gas pressure), than there are in the surrounding outside atmosphere. Accordingly, vacuum is the gaseous environment at pressures below atmosphere. Since the times of the famous Greek philosophers, Demokritos (460-370 B.C.) and his teacher Leukippos (5th century B.C.), one is discussing the concept of vacuum and is speculating whether there might exist an absolutely empty space, in contrast to the matter of countless numbers of indivisible atoms forming the universe. It was Aristotle (384-322 B.C.), who claimed that nature is afraid of total emptiness and that there is an insurmountable "horror vacui".

  • Vacuum Technology for Superconducting Devices
    Published by CERN in the Proceedings of the CAS-CERN Accelerator School: Superconductivity for Accelerators, Erice, Italy, 24 April – 4 May 2013, edited by R. Bailey, CERN–2014–005 (CERN, Geneva, 2014) Vacuum Technology for Superconducting Devices P. Chiggiato1 CERN, Geneva, Switzerland Abstract The basic notions of vacuum technology for superconducting applications are presented, with an emphasis on mass and heat transport in free molecular regimes. The working principles and practical details of turbomolecular pumps and cryopumps are introduced. The specific case of the Large Hadron Collider’s cryogenic vacuum system is briefly reviewed. Keywords: vacuum technology, outgassing, cryopumping, LHC vacuum. 1 Introduction Vacuum is necessary during the production of superconducting thin films for RF applications and for the thermal insulation of cryostats. On the other hand, vacuum systems take an advantage from the low temperatures necessary for superconducting devices. This chapter focuses on the principles and the main definitions of vacuum technologies; some insights about gas and heat transfer in a free molecular regime are given. Only turbomolecular pumping and cryopumping are described, since they are the most relevant for superconducting applications. Pressure measurement is not included because, in general, it is not considered a critical issue in such a domain. A comprehensive introduction to vacuum technology may be found in the books listed in the references. 2 Basic notions of vacuum technology The thermodynamic properties of a rarefied gas are described by the ideal gas equation of state: = (1) PV Nmoles RT where P, T and V are the gas pressure, temperature, and volume, respectively, and R is the ideal gas −1 −1 constant (8.314 J K mol in SI units); Nmoles is the number of gas moles.

  • Vacuum Pump (Edited from Wikipedia)
    Vacuum Pump (Edited from Wikipedia) SUMMARY A vacuum pump is a device that removes gas molecules from a sealed volume in order to leave behind a partial vacuum. The first vacuum pump was invented in 1650 by Otto von Guericke, and was preceded by the suction pump, which dates to antiquity. HISTORY The predecessor to the vacuum pump was the suction pump, which was known to the Romans. Dual-action suction pumps were found in the city of Pompeii. Arabic engineer Al-Jazari also described suction pumps in the 13th century. He said that his model was a larger version of the siphons the Byzantines used to discharge the Greek fire. The suction pump later reappeared in Europe from the 15th century. By the 17th century, water pump designs had improved to the point that they produced measurable vacuums, but this was not immediately understood. What was known was that suction pumps could not pull water beyond a certain height: 18 Florentine yards according to a measurement taken around 1635. (The conversion to meters is uncertain, but it would be about 9 or 10 meters.) This limit was a concern to irrigation projects, mine drainage, and decorative water fountains planned by the Duke of Tuscany, so the Duke commissioned Galileo to investigate the problem. Galileo advertised the puzzle to other scientists, including Gaspar Berti who replicated it by building the first water barometer in Rome in 1639. Berti's barometer produced a vacuum above the water column, but he could not explain it. The breakthrough was made by Evangelista Torricelli in 1643.

This Institute comprises a series of divisions, each serving a classical subject matter area: —Applied Mathematics—Electricity—Metrology—Mechanics—Heat—Atomic Physics—Physical Chemistry—Radiation Physics—Laboratory Astrophysics-—Radio Standards Laboratory,^ which includes Radio Standards Physics and Radio Standards Engineering- -Office of Standard Refer- ence Data. THE INSTITUTE FOR MATERIALS RESEARCH . conducts materials research and provides associated materials services including mainly reference materials and data on the properties of ma- terials. Beyond its direct interest to the Nation's scientists and engineers, this Institute yields services which are essential to the advancement of technology in industry and commerce.
