Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for preventing the memory effect in cryopumps according to the preamble of claim 1. Furthermore, the invention relates to a cryopump according to claim 11.
- Cryopumps operated with a two-stage cooling head are characterized by their high pumping speed and are used to generate an ultrahigh vacuum (p ⁇ 10 7 mbar). Such pumps have been on the market for over 30 years.
- the pumping surfaces of the first stage are usually designed as cup-shaped shielding and baffle formed in the region of the pot opening biconical.
- the first stage pumping surfaces should be maintained at about 80 Kelvin and serve to freeze out water vapor and gases with similar levels of resorption.
- the bottom of the cup-shaped shield is penetrated by the cooling head in the middle.
- temperature zones of approximately 30 K. are created in the vicinity of the junction between the cooling head and the bottom of the shielding on the bottom.
- cryopumps in the case of cryopumps, a heat bar is known, which conducts heat from the cryopump housing to the temperature zones of the bottom of the shield, which also prevents the memory effect.
- the object of the invention is to propose a cryopump which does not have the disadvantage described above. Ie.
- the object of the invention is to provide a cryopump which does not have the memory effect.
- the object is achieved in a device according to the preamble of claim 1, characterized in that the thermal bridge between the shield and the first cooling stage is provided at a distance from the end face.
- the thermal bridge is in communication with a temperature zone of the first cooling stage, which has a higher temperature than the temperature prevailing at the end face of the first cooling stage.
- the position of the thermal bridge at the first cooling stage is set such that a temperature between 70 and 90 K and preferably approximately 80 K is established during operation of a cryopump on the shield. If this temperature range prevails over the entire surface of the shield, then the above-mentioned Memory effect can be prevented.
- the fact that the heat is provided for transmission via the thermal bridge of the first cooling stage, can be dispensed with external heat sources, whereby the efficiency of the cryopump at the second stage is not reduced.
- a neck is provided at the bottom of the shield, which neck is connected only with its distal end heat-conducting with the first cooling stage. This ensures that cold is taken only from a temperature range of the first cold stage, which corresponds to the optimum operating temperature at the shield.
- the inner diameter of the nozzle is greater than the outer diameter of the first cooling stage.
- the nozzle is at no other point except its distal end with the first cooling stage in heat-conducting connection, which allows accurate compliance with the desired operating temperature of the cryopump.
- the nozzle, on which the shield facing side has a flange which serves as a thermal bridge between the nozzle and the shield. This ensures good heat transfer, due to an enlarged surface of the nozzle, between the nozzle and the shield.
- the flange is spaced from the second cooling stage.
- an undesirable cold transfer from the second cooling stage is prevented on the flange and the distance is additionally used as insulation between the flange and the second cooling stage.
- a gap is provided between the flange and the first cooling stage, so that not even the end face of the first cooling stage, at which temperatures of about 30 K prevail, come into contact with the flange.
- the desired temperature is advantageously passed directly from the web lossless to the lid and thus also to the baffle and the shield.
- connection piece is made of copper.
- copper has excellent heat conduction properties. sits and heat is transferred with low losses.
- Other materials with similarly good thermal conductivity values as copper would be possible.
- a further subject of the present invention is also a cryopump according to claim 11 with a device according to any one of claims 1 to 10 described above.
- the cryopump which accommodates the inventive cooling head has the advantage that its dimensions are adapted precisely to the performance of the cooling head are.
- FIG. 1 shows a cross section through a cryopump
- FIG. 2 shows a detailed view of a thermal bridge from FIG.
- the cryopump 11 shown in FIG. 1 has a housing 12.
- the housing 12 is equipped at its first end with a first flange 13 which forms the inlet opening 15 of the cryopump 11 and with which the cryopump 11 is attached to a recipient (not shown). preferably with the interposition of a valve connected.
- a second flange 17 is provided, which surrounds a receiving opening 19.
- housing 12 Housed in housing 12 is a two-stage cooling head 21, which holds a first, warmer cooling stage 23 (held at approximately 30 K) and a second, colder cooling stage 25 (held at approximately 10 K), which is connected axially to first stage 21. has.
- the first cooling stage 23 is attached centrally to a cooling head flange 27, which in turn is connected to the second flange 17.
- connecting flanges 29 are arranged concentrically on the kuhTkopfflansch 27.
- the connecting flanges 29 are used to connect monitoring instruments, such as pressure and temperature measuring instruments, which monitor the state of the pump during operation.
- the thermal bridge is preferably made of copper. Between the shield 31 and the end face 55 of the first cooling stage 23 so a gap 34 is formed, which is bridged by the thermal bridge 33.
- the thermal bridge 33 is not directly connected to the second cooling stage 25 at the transition of the first to the second cooling stage, but a part of the intermediate space 34 remains free in the form of a circular ring.
- the shield 31 has the shape of a cylinder, on which on the first cooling stage 23 side facing a bottom 35 is provided. On the side facing away from the first cooling stage 23, an opening 37 is provided.
- an interior 41 is formed.
- the baffle 37 is supported by the shield 31 and the webs 59 and serves for the freezing of vapors, such.
- cooling elements 43 which serve as a second pumping surface.
- the cooling elements are in the form of cups of differing diameters which are partially intermeshed.
- the cooling elements 43 are connected to the second cooling stage 25 via fixing elements 45 good heat conducting.
- the bottom 35 of the shield 31 is centrally penetrated by the cooling head 21 in such a way that the first cooling stage outside the interior 41 and the second cooling stage 25 is located in the interior 41.
- the temperature is determined by the thermal bridge 33, which transmits the temperature of about 30 K prevailing on the end face 55 of the first cooling stage 23 to the bottom 35, the shield 31 and the baffle 39. This results in cryopumps according to the prior art, temperature zones on the bottom 35, which have a temperature of about 30 K.
- cryopumps During the vacuuming process, gases also enter the interior 41, which condense out at 30 K and do not freeze out.
- a typical gas with these properties is argon, for example. After these gases are present as liquids at the 30 K zones, they also have a corresponding vapor pressure. Since an ultrahigh vacuum should be achievable with cryopumps, every slight increase in pressure, which arises, for example, due to the vapor pressure of liquefied gases, has a negative effect on the vacuum to be achieved. This reduced vacuum power, which caused by liquefied gases in the interior 41, is referred to in cryopumps of the prior art as a memory effect.
- one aspect of the invention is not to cause 30 K zones on the entire shield.
- the construction of the thermal bridge 33 is precisely visible.
- the thermal bridge 33 is thermally conductively connected to the temperature zone of the first cooling stage 23, which has a temperature of about 80 K, for example. This temperature is transferred from the thermal bridge 33 to the bottom 35. It is important that the thermal bridge 33 is formed in such a way that it is brought as close as possible to the second cooling stage 25. In the exemplary embodiment, this requirement is solved in that the thermal bridge 33 has the shape of a nozzle 33.
- a flange 46 is provided, which serves the well heat-conducting connection of the thermal bridge 33 to the bottom 35.
- a clamping connection in the form of a clamp 47 is provided, which is pressed with two screws to the first cooling stage 23. Also conceivable are other non-destructive detachable connections.
- a gap 49 is provided between the thermal bridge 33 and the first cooling head.
- the gap 49 results from the fact that the outer diameter 51 of the first cooling stage 23 is smaller than the inner diameter 53 of the thermal bridge 33.
- the height of the thermal bridge is dimensioned such that also between the end face 55 of the first cooling stage 23 and the flange 46, a gap 49 is provided.
- baffle 39 and the lid 57 are brought to the temperature level of the shield.
- the baffle 39 and the lid 57 also serve to shield the cooling elements 43 from gases and vapors that should freeze at 80K. So that the temperature of the baffle 39 and the lid 57 substantially have the temperature of the thermal bridge 33, they are held by webs 59, which are directly in thermal communication with the thermal bridge 33. From the fact that the thermal bridge 33 receives the heat for the heating of the bottom 35 from the first cooling head 23 and not from external heat sources, knows the skilled person that the overall efficiency of the cryopump improves, although the cooling time of the cryopump must necessarily deteriorate slightly.
