Abstract:
A getter sorption pump has at least one getter member of non-evaporating getter material and a corresponding heating element. The specific performance of the getter pump is increased along with a simultaneous reduction of necessary heating capacity, and it is stabilized over a long time period by use of a heat accumulator having an extremely high heat storing capability. For this purpose, the heating element is attached to a sintered ceramic body, and an insulating tube onto which the getter member is sintered, in situated thereabove. The getter pump is employed in high-vacuum and gas discharge systems.
Abstract:
A getter sorption pump has at least one getter member of non-evaporation getter material and a corresponding heating element. With this getter pump, a high pump rate is achieved by means of an extremely large surface in the smallest possible space. For this purpose, the heating element is disposed in an insulating tube and a plurality of individual getter members are attached to the insulator tube at a spacing from one another. The getter pump is employed in high-vacuum and gas discharge systems.
