An experimental study of the cryoentrainment pump and the behavior of nude ionization gauge at low temperature

The use of cryopumping techniques to obtain a contamination free vacuum is discussed. Of those gases that are normally present in an initially air filled vacuum system, only carbon dioxide and water vapor will be effectively pumped at 77 degrees Kelvin. In order to circumvent this restriction on the types of gases that are pumped at this temperature, it is postulated that a gas which is easily condensable at 77 degrees K be injected into the system in the form of a directed stream. The stream would then entrain the normally noncondensable species by a momentum transfer mechanism. After sweeping through the volume to be pumped, the injected gas stream would then be condensed on a cryopumping surface maintained at 77 degrees Kelvin.

Graphite ionization vacuum gauge

Triode gauge with electron source, electron collector, and positive ion collector made from either graphite or carbon material extends low-pressure ranges of existing gauges by changing only materials used in construction. Advantages of graphite gauge stem from physical properties of graphite (or carbon).
