+ | In June 2019, a new Turbo Pump with magnetically-levitating bearings (Leybold MAG 2200iP) was installed in the S800 focal-plane chamber. This pump has a dry-N line connected to it that is purging continuously the bearings. This creates an extra pressure in the foreline, which must be pumping down continuously. Therefore, it is critical turn off the turbo pump whenever the foreline valve needs to be closed. | ||
