  • Patent number: 10571159
    Abstract: A refrigeration apparatus is equipped with a heat source unit, a cooling unit, a low-pressure gas tube, and a bypass circuit. In the heat source unit, a compressor, a condenser, and a tube are housed. The compressor has a variable operating capacity, and sucks, compresses, and discharges refrigerant. The condenser condenses the refrigerant compressed by the compressor. The tube connects the compressor with the condenser. In the cooling unit, an expansion valve and a cooler are housed. The expansion valve decompresses the refrigerant condensed by the condenser. The cooler evaporates the refrigerant decompressed by the expansion valve. The low-pressure gas tube connects the cooler with the compressor. The bypass circuit connects the tube located in the heat source unit with the low-pressure gas tube located in the cooling unit.

  • Publication number: 20190279891
    Abstract: A horizontal substrate carrier is provided, for example a carrier for holding semiconductor substrates during horizontal thermal processing. The horizontal substrate carrier has asymmetrically placed support rails. One side of the horizontal substrate carrier has no upper rail while the other side of the horizontal substrate carrier has an upper rail placed at a relatively high location, for example at an angular location of 60° or more, more preferably of 70° or more, and most preferably at 90°. The side without an upper rail may be used for robotic loading of the horizontal substrate carrier. In a preferred embodiment, only three rails are provided: one upper rail on one side and two lower rails. The use and placement of these three rails can hold the substrate in precise uniform locations, minimize substrate movement, and minimize particle generation, all while allowing for easy robotic access.
