Trades & Technology

For courses in Introduction to Vacuum Technology.

 

With an innovative organization designed for teaching, this text approaches the study of vacuum systems from a pressure regime viewpoint. With an emphasis on the fundamental science behind vacuum systems, it explores the foundations of vacuum system implementation, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting. It is designed to make a seamless transition from lecture to lab and is filled with learning activities that reinforce both basic concepts and accepted practice. Developed to address the need for a technician-level text, it includes the fundamentals of rough-and high-vacuum systems, leak detection, residual gas analysis, and pressure control.

 

Description

 

For courses in Introduction to Vacuum Technology. With an innovative organization designed for teaching, this text approaches the study of vacuum systems from a pressure regime viewpoint. With an emphasis on the fundamental science behind vacuum systems, it explores the foundations of vacuum system implementation, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting. It is designed to make a seamless transition from lecture to lab and is filled with learning activities that reinforce both basic concepts and accepted practice. Developed to address the need for a technician-level text, it includes the fundamentals of rough-and high-vacuum systems, leak detection, residual gas analysis, and pressure control.

 

Hallmark Features

 

Coverage of vacuum systems from a pressure regime viewpoint–rather than a topical perspective.

·        Follows a logical sequence that includes an overview of basic chemistry, study of the rough vacuum regime, study of the high vacuum regime and then general topics such as leak detection and residual gas analysis.

·        Lends itself to laboratory experimentation and makes it easier to coordinate lecture and lab.

 

Focus on the fundamental science behind vacuum system components–such as the basic capture-compress-exhaust sequence used by most rough vacuum pumps.

·        Places an emphasis on the fundamental science behind vacuums as opposed to specific pumps or gauges.

·        Provides the reader with transferable knowledge and skills that can be applied to many vacuums and situations.

 

Laboratory exercises–end each chapter.

·        Offers suggested laboratory exercises that emphasize a “learn by doing” approach.

·        Helps readers really know and understand how vacuum systems work.

·        Includes laboratory activities for each pressure regime such as rough vacuum pumpdowns, high vacuum pumpdowns, and residual gas analysis.

 

Examples and problems–set this text apart.

·        Includes examples and problem sets geared toward technician education.

·        Offers end-of-chapter materials that are appropriate in level and scope for the two-year, associate degree program.
