  • Patent number: 5906102
    Abstract: A cryopump having a cryopump chamber includes a purge gas valve coupled to the cryopump chamber for supplying a first quantity of warm gas to the cryopump chamber in order to purge the cryopump chamber during regeneration. A roughing valve couples the cryopump chamber to a roughing pump enabling the cryopump chamber to be roughed. An exhaust valve is coupled to the cryopump chamber for exhausting gases from the cryopump chamber during purge. A delivery valve is coupled to the exhaust valve for delivering a second quantity of warm gas directly onto surfaces of the exhaust valve for warming the surfaces of the exhaust valve.

  • Patent number: 5887438
    Abstract: A cold trap includes a fluid conduit having a fluid flow path therethrough, a length along the fluid flow path and a width transverse to the fluid flow path. The width of the fluid conduit is greater than the length. A cryopumping array having an outer rim surrounding a central opening is positioned within the fluid conduit transverse to the fluid flow path such that the fluid flow path extends through the central opening of the array. The outer rim captures water vapor from the fluid flow path. The array has a transverse width and a rim width which are both greater than the thickness of the array. A conductive strut extends from the array through the fluid conduit transverse to the fluid flow path for a conductively coupling the array to a cryogenic cooling source which cools the array to cryogenic temperatures.
