Title: A FAST ACTING ULTRA-HIGH VACUUM GAS INLET VALVE AND ITS USE IN THE PRODUCTION OF SPECIAL NON-STATIONARY PRESSURE DISTRIBUTIONS IN THE C STELLARATOR

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4078033

The C stellarator vacuum system is equivalent to a long tube with a gas injection valve at one end, and a larger volume with pumps at the other end. The gas is admitted in a short burst of 10 to 50 msec duration, and the machine is energized before an excessive amount of gas reaches the volume at the end of the tube. A description is given of the design of the valve and the theoretical analysis of the transient pressure distribution before and after the stellarator is energized. This is an example of the calculation of the transient behavior of a vacuum system with distributed volume. (auth)
