Vacuum pumps 真空幫浦 (updated: 02/06/2014)

The vacuum pump system is connected with the space plasma simulation chamber through windows. The system includes an ionization gauge to monitor the pressure inside the chamber. For testing the rocket-based and satellite-based payloads inside the chamber, it is necessary to prevent containment (especially oil) from vacuum pump system. To reduce the complexity of operation, the vacuum pump system can provide automatic operation in the future. The vacuum pump system can reduce pressure inside the chamber from 1 atm. to 10-6 torr within 8 hours and maintain the low-pressure condition for a long time.
