1 Vacuum Pressure Calculations
2 Vaccalc The program vaccalc was used for all calculations. The program required three pieces of information for each chamber: pumping, conductance, and outgassing. Using the given information, the program calculates the pressure at any point along the entire tube.
3 Chamber Design HER downstream LER upstream LER downstream HER upstream Support chamber Q5 NEG m m ST plot plot
4 Assumptions Bertollini’s numbers on outgassing were true (l/s)/m pumping for all NEG pumps with B or C screens (l/s)/m pumping for all NEG pumps with A or D screens 1000 (l/s)/m pumping for all ion pumps (150 l/s pump over 0.15 m)
5 Data Conductance remains a constant throughout the LER tubes. Lengths were taken from drawings and tables. This is a work in progress, making it difficult to draw final conclusions from the plots.
6 Cases Baseline Design –No Radial Pumps No C Pumps –No Upstream Q4 Pump No Q4 pump with Ion pump LER Q5 not pumping LER Q5 outgassing No Q4 pump with Ion pump and frangible pump LER Q5 not pumping with Frangible Link Pump LER Q5 outgassing with Frangible Link Pump No C Pumps –Q4 and Q5 outgassing –No Q4 and Q5 outgassing
