A rotary vane vacuum pump is an oilsealed rotary displacement pump. Since then, various kinds of molecular pumps with different structures have appeared, mainly vertical and horizontal. Unlike diffusion pumps, turbomolecular vacuum pumps do not require traps and baffles, as the possibility for backstreaming into the vacuum vessel is very limited in a turbo pump. The use of an air motor on this type of pump allows it to be used in more than one application. Under ideal conditions, ion pumps are capable of reaching pressures as low as 10. Alcatel alcatel 5402 cis turbomolecular high vacuum pump this used pump appears to be in good physical condition. Oerlikon leybold 230071, ptr90, penningvactransmitter new. The working principle of a modern turbomolecular pump is analyzed from the point of view of statistical mechanics. The turbomolecular pump as first described in 1958 by becker, was based on the older molecular drag pumps developed by gaede in 19, holweck in 1923 and siegbahn in 1944. The turbomolecular pump is optimised for molecular flow conditions and requires a suitably sized backing pump or an oil free scroll pump to exhaust to atmosphere. Cryopanels should be designed to allow easy filling and purging of the liquefied gas, and also must allow for boiloff of the gas during operation. Working principles of a turbomolecular pump turbomolecular pumps are found in every semiconductor fab, the vast majority of helium leak detectors and research laboratories.
