Use clamps to secure tubing to the Vacuum and Vent Ports.
Oven Chamber Ports – Left to Right
•
Vent Port ( Backfill Inlet) – 1/4 Inch (6.35 mm) OD
o
External atmosphere backfills the oven chamber through this port when the Vent
Valve control on the front control panel is opened.
o
A clean or inert gas supply source may be connected to this port. The maximum
allowed delivery pressure at the port is 15 psi .
•
Vacuum Port – 3/8 Inch (9.52 mm) OD
o
Chamber atmosphere is evacuated through this port. Connect the vacuum source to
the oven here.
o
This port is opened and closed by the Vacuum Valve control on the front control
panel.
•
KF-25 Vacuum Port
o
Comes with a clamp and blank.
o
Used for introducing thermocouple probes through a vacuum rated feedthrough.
o
A vacuum supply can be connected to the KF-25 port for increased efficiency in
vacuuming down the chamber. However, the Vacuum Valve control on the front
control panel will not affect the level of vacuum and must be set to closed to prevent
atmosphere from entering the chamber through the 3/8-inch Vacuum Port.
