  • Patent number: 11401860
    Abstract: A method of using an exhaust system includes activating an oscillating assembly connected to an exhaust line, wherein the oscillating assembly is configured to vibrate the exhaust line. The method further includes measuring a value indicating a flow of particles through the exhaust line. The method further includes comparing the value with a predetermined threshold value. The method further includes increasing a rate of vibration of the exhaust line in response to the value being below the predetermined threshold value.

  • Patent number: 9657757
    Abstract: Some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method of dissipating process exhaust from a chamber. The method includes conveying the process exhaust from the chamber through an inner tube of a pipeline to abatement. The process exhaust has a first temperature while exiting the chamber, and a second temperature while exiting the pipeline. The method maintains an outer tube of the pipeline at a vacuum state by a pump such that the inner tube is substantially thermal isolated from the atmosphere outside the pipeline. The second temperature is negative offset from the first temperature within a predetermined value.
