TSP #294 – Multi-Stage Turbomolecular Pump (Turbo-Pump) Theory of Operation, Assembly & Experiment

In this episode Shahriar tries to get a multi-stage Turbo Pump running. The unit comprises cylinder-based rouging pump into two stages of turbo pumps. The entire system is described with various interlock and controller mechanisms. The top blades of each pump are also shown.
The pump reached 10^-6 Torr fairly quickly but will likely need additional cleaning and long runtime to achieve anything below 10^-7 Torr.
