A plurality of vacuum pumps each having a refrigerator are connected to a common compressor. At least one of the plurality of vacuum pumps performs repeating an operation including a process in which a gas in a low-pressure state is adiabatically compressed when the interior of a cylinder shifts from the low-pressure state to a high-pressure state as a result of a valve operation of the refrigerator, and a process in which a displacer passes through the adiabatically compressed gas. At least another one of the plurality of vacuum pumps performs repeating an operation including a process in which a gas in the high-pressure state is adiabatically expanded when the interior of the cylinder shifts from the high-pressure state to the low-pressure state as a result of the valve operation of the refrigerator, and a process in which the displacer passes through the adiabatically expanded gas.

An exhaust system includes an entrapment vacuum pump equipped with a refrigerator, a master compressor which is driven in a driving frequency band to make constant a pressure difference between gas recovered from the refrigerator via a low-pressure gas recovery pipe and compressed gas supplied to the refrigerator via a high-pressure gas supply pipe, and a first sub-compressor which is driven at a predetermined driving frequency to supply compressed gas at a first gas volume to the refrigerator via a high-pressure gas supply pipe from gas recovered from the refrigerator via a low-pressure gas recovery pipe. In addition, a second sub-compressor is driven at a predetermined driving frequency to supply compressed gas at a second gas volume larger than the first gas volume to the refrigerator via a high-pressure gas supply pipe from gas recovered from the refrigerator via a low-pressure gas recovery pipe, and a controller monitors a driving frequency of the master compressor and controls driving or a stop of the first sub-compressor and driving or a stop of the second sub-compressor, based on the driving frequency.

An operation method and an operation apparatus for multi-system refrigerators, and a refrigerating apparatus. When gas compressed by a single compressor is supplied to a plurality of refrigerators through valves provided for the individual refrigerators, the opening/closing frequencies of the individual valves are slightly shifted to one another. As a result, with a simple constitution, the performances of the individual refrigerators are balanced without observing valve timings.

A cryotrap which is set in a vacuum vessel, and has an exhaust panel which condenses and exhausts a gas by cooling, and a cooling stage which is connected to a refrigerator and thereby cooled, includes a cooling storage body fixed on a cooling stage while maintaining thermal contact with it, and a mechanism which thermally connects/disconnects the cooling storage body 6 and the exhaust panel. The mechanism which performs thermal connection/disconnection has a movable unit which has a good heat conductivity and can come into contact with and separate from the exhaust panel and the cooling storage body.

A cryopump apparatus includes a sensor which detects at least one of the temperature and pressure in a cryopump, a controller which detects a change in at least one of the temperature and pressure in the cryopump on the basis of the detection result obtained by the sensor, thereby determining the connection state between the controller and the cryopump, and a display device which displays an abnormal point for the cryopump estimated from the determination result obtained by the controller.
