Long-overdue update to the wiki page. | |||
The diffusion pump has been serviced and cleaned. The cooling jacket is leak-free. It appears to have previously gone UTA catastrophically while at operating temperature, as it contained glass debris and burnt-on pump oil residue. It has been temporarily sealed for dust protection and returned to the equipment trolley. | |||
The next step is to complete the radiator & fan enclosure to get the pump cooling-loop operational. | |||
To go to a bell-jar based design, circles of billet aluminium 13" dia are available from Alauminium warehouse, but will need facing on a large lathe. A used gas cylinder has been donated to serve as bell-jar. Suitable seals are approximatly £30. | |||
The trolley will likely need re-designing eventually. | |||
Inline temperature sensor, flow-sensor, pumps, etc.. all available from PC water-cooling suppliers. | |||
