The maximum pressure for a diffusion pump is typically around 10-2 to 10-10 Torr. This range is determined by the pump's ability to produce high vacuum levels, which is crucial for various industrial applications such as electron-beam microscopy, vacuum deposition, coatings, and vacuum furnaces.
The diffusion pump operates on a simple principle with no moving parts, making it durable and reliable. It is designed to work in conjunction with a holding pump that maintains the inner pressure during idle modes. When the diffusion pump is operational, the holding pump valve is isolated, and a mechanical pump and blower act as the backing pump.
For customers who do not require extremely low system pressures, a two-stage system can be used instead of a three-stage system that includes a diffusion pump. In a two-stage system, the pressure level can be increased from atmospheric pressure to 4.5 x 10-2 Torr, as opposed to the 8.0 x 10-6 Torr achieved with a diffusion-pumped furnace. This flexibility in pressure management allows diffusion pumps to be tailored to specific industrial needs, ensuring optimal performance and efficiency.
