| Heroes of Vacuum pt 5 |
Saul Dushman – A Hero of Vacuum
Saul Dushman was a prolific scientist with a wide range of interests who made major contributions to vacuum science. He was born in Rostov-on-Don (known as the ‘crossroads’ of the North Caucasus, Central Russia and the Ukraine) in Tsarist Russia in July, 1883. This was two years after the wide-scale anti-Jewish pogroms which swept southern Russia and in 1891, the year of mass Jewish expulsions, he emigrated with his family to the United States. |

You are working on a Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) solar manufacturing R&D application. Your facility has a high vacuum chamber which requires a turbomolecular pump and you have been asked to research what is the best turbomolecular pump to purchase. *Keep in mind you also require an ISO250 flange and 12 Standard Cubic Centimeters per Minute (sccm) at 1x10-4 mbar. Determine what turbomolecular pump is best suited for the application by answering the following:
What is the pumping speed required in liters/second (assume temperature of 20 degrees C) at 1x10-4 mbar? What is the change in pump speed if you add an ISO250 gate valve that is 10 cm in length?
Look for the solution in our next newsletter!
