    Cryogenics Microprocessor Based Cryochillers DESIGN OF CRYO-COILS 7 DESIGN OF CRYO-COILS The design and placement of a cryo-coil is a specialized task, which must be carried out by a skilled vacuum practitioner. Free technical help is available directly from Telemark. Telemark also manufactures cryo-coils to order to suit your installation.
  • Page 78: Table 7-1, Coil Surfaces And Theoretical Pumping

    Cryogenics Microprocessor Based Cryochillers DESIGN OF CRYO-COILS It is important to appreciate that a unit will only pump water efficiently in conditions of molecular flow i.e. In vacuums of less than 1 x 10 mbar. Where the pressure exceeds this value before the system is switched to cool there is a risk of over loading and saturating the cryo-surface, which may lead to poor process quality and slower pump downs.
