Mark 2 Vacuum Hub |
Overview: The vacuum hub will provide vacuum throttling control, as well as mounting
points for vacuum and reactor monitoring sensors. |
|
Vacuum Hub CAD:
|
|
Cross: 2.75" CF cross, 2 rotatable flanges. Cross will serve as the reactor vacuum hub, providing vacuum connection, 8 electrical feedthroughs, and one instrumentation well. |
|
Instrumentation Well: One of the crosses arms is capped off, providing a 1.5" diameter by 1.25" long well for housing instrumentation. |
|
Electrical Feedthrough: 8 terminal electrical feedthrough, 600v rating. Feedthrough will allow electrical connection to reactor monitoring sensors. |
|
NW-40 Adaptor: NW 40 adaptor will couple vacuum hub to reactor core. |
|
Throttling Valve: Throttling butterfly valve is added to vary pumping rate. A NW-25 to 2.75 conflat adaptor attaches to the top of the throttling valve to adapt the vacuum hub to the vacuum system. |
|
Vacuum Gauge Adaptor: An elbow will attach an NW25-1/8npt-NW25 adaptive tee to the vacuum hub. A thermocouple vacuum gauge tube will connect to the 1/8npt port. |
|
Vacuum Hub: Assembled vacuum hub. |
|
Vacuum System: Vacuum hub will connect to vacuum system via a NW25-NW25 metal vacuum hose. |
