  • CRYOPUMP APPARATUS
    Publication number: 20260104040
    Abstract: A cryopump apparatus defines an open interior cavity with a process assembly received within the open interior cavity. The process assembly includes a refrigerant passage having a refrigerant inlet end to receive a refrigerant therein and a refrigerant outlet end to output used refrigerant. A process passage has a process inlet end to receive a process gas and a process outlet end to output a product gas. A heating element is thermally coupled to the process passage and a cap seals the open interior cavity.
