Installation The turbopump and vacuum chamber can be heated to reach the final pressure more Heating jacket quickly. Use of a heating jacket is only permissible for pumps with the high vacuum flange in stainless steel design. The heating duration depends on the degree of contamination as well as the final pressure to be reached and should be at least 4 hours.
