How Can Cascaded Pumps Get You Another Decade of Vacuum?

Cascaded Pumps – How They Can Get You Another Decade of Vacuum Introduction Cascaded pumps have a noticeable improvement to how far down they can pull vacuum when compared to a standalone pump. This particular combination of cascading pumps allows us to first pull down the vacuum of the first chamber by decreasing the pressure difference between the first pump’s inlet and exhaust. This reduced the load and thus gave it some more headroom. The second pump acts as a backing pump, which is similar to a turbo configuration. The test set up for how the pumps were arranged can

Can Vacuum Drying Expedite Drying Processes?

Vacuum Drying | Can it Expedite Drying Processes? Recently, DigiVac got speaking with some clients about whether the introduction of vacuum could potentially expedite, or speed up, drying processes. Just looking at the method, the answer would seem obvious – especially when put in comparison to simply air drying. However, we wanted to be sure and thus – this experiment was created. Before we begin discussing the experiment, however, some vacuum drying basics should be discussed beforehand. What is Vacuum Drying? Vacuum drying is the “science of removing moisture present in an item or substance through the use of vacuum.”

How DigiVac Products can Help with Aerospace/Altitude Simulation

Applications | How DigiVac Products can Help with Aerospace/Altitude Simulation Similar to how a majority of people come across items or products that have potentially touched or come into contact with some form of vacuum, people interact with things a plethora of satellites in space have operated or influenced in some way. Examples include using a GPS to get to and from work, making a call to someone in a different country, checking the weather report, or even something as simple as using the Internet. Satellites are an integral part of modern life, whether we realize it or not. However,

Improving Resolution of Electron Microscopy with FYRA

A customer approached Digivac to assist with vacuum control in an electron microscope. A vacuum within the microscope deeper than 20 Pascals (approx. 150 millitorr) causes visible degradation in the final image. The customer needed the ability to measure inside the chamber and precisely control the vacuum between 20 and 30 pascals while the electron microscope captures the image.
