  • Publication number: 20220364263
    Abstract: Systems and apparatus for a reduced mass substrate support are disclosed, according to certain embodiments. A front side pocket is provided for support of a substrate, while a backside pocket is provided that reduces the mass of the substrate support. By providing the backside pocket, the mass of the overall substrate support is reduced, providing faster thermal cycling times for the substrate support and reducing the weight of the substrate support for transport. Lift pin systems, according to disclosed embodiments, are compatible with existing pedestal systems by providing a hollow extension from each lift pin hole that extends from a bottom of the backside pocket to provide support for lift pin insertion and operation.

  • Publication number: 20220107116
    Abstract: A combustion air blower includes a blower housing, an impeller fan within the blower housing, and an embossment to restrict airflow from the combustion air blower. The blower housing has a discharge conduit defining a discharge passageway. The discharge conduit is adapted and configured to receive a baffle such that, when the baffle is received, the baffle extends inwardly into the discharge passageway from a first wall towards a second wall opposite the first wall. The baffle restricts airflow within the discharge passageway. The embossment is in the discharge passageway and in the second wall and extends towards the first wall such that the embossment restricts airflow within the discharge passageway. The embossment cooperates with a baffle to provide a reduced cross sectional area of the discharge passageway in comparison to an upstream portion.
