터보분자펌프(turbo-molecular pump: TMP)는 고진공펌프 중의 하나로, 반도체/디스플레이 등 첨단 공정에서 진공 환경을 조성하는 핵심장비이다. 터보분자펌프(TMP)의 특성평가는 세계 여러 나라의 표준제정기구에서 제정한 국제규격에 그 기반을 두어, 한국표준과학연구원 진공기술 센터에서는 터보분자펌프(TMP) 특성평가시스템을 자체 설계/제작하여 그 신뢰성을 확인하기 위해 개발품 및 상용품 평가에 주력하고 있다. 터보분자펌프(TMP)는 보조펌프(backing pump)의 지원을 받으므로 보조펌프(backing pump) 용량에 따른 터보분자펌프(TMP)의 배기속도를 측정하고자 한다. 국제규격에서 제시하는 보조펌프 (backing pump)의 용량이 일정이상 작을 경우, 터보분자펌프(TMP)의 배기속도 및 압축비에 대해 감소함을 제시한다. 이 영향은 전체 압력 범위에서 보조펌프(backing pump)의 배기속도가 일정 용량 이상이면 터보분자펌프(TMP)의 배기속도에 영향이 없음을 제시하며, 이에 본 연구에서는 국제규격에서 제시하는 보조펌프(backing pump) 용량에 대해 서로 다른 조건에 맞추어 터보분자 펌프(TMP)의 배기속도에 미치는 영향을 연구하고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 100m3/h, 10m3/h 의 서로 다른 배기속도를 가진 보조펌프(backing pump)를 선정하여 분자량이 다른 가스(N2, He, Ar 등)에 대한 압축비의 변화와 배기속도 측정에 관해 상관 관계를 제시하며, 100m3/h, 10m3/h 의 서로 다른 배기속도를 가진 보조펌프(backing pump)에 따른 터보분자펌프(TMP)의 배기속도 및 운전성능을 제시하고자 한다.

A vacuum system is designed for thermal insulation of a 10 ton/day class air liquefaction cold box for liquid air energy storage. The vacuum system is composed of a turbomolecular pump, a backing pump and vacuum piping for the vacuum pumps. The turbomolecular pump is in combination with the backing pump for pumping capacity. The vacuum piping is designed with system installation conditions, such as distance from the cold box, connections to vacuum pumps and installation space. The capacity of the vacuum pump combination, namely pumping speed, is determined by analysis of the vacuum system, and pump-down time to 1×10^-5 mbar is estimated. Vacuum piping conductance, system pumping speed and outgassing rate are calculated for the pump-down time with the ultimate pumping speed range of the vacuum pump combination of 1400 - 2300 l/s. Although the pump-down time gets shorter by larger capacity vacuum pumps, it mainly depends on target vacuum degree and outgassing rate in the cold box. The pump-down time is estimated as 3 - 6 hours appropriate for cold box operation for the pumping speed range. Considering the outgassing rate has uncertainty, the vacuum pump combination with pumping speed of 1900 l/s is chosen for the vacuum system, which is middle value of the pumping speed range.

Electric night storage heater was introduced and disseminated for power grid balancing and efficient management of power generation facility. But fuel cost for heating has been increased rapidly while the cost of electricity increased slightly. This abnormal rate system caused peak load in winter at last. To solve this problem, application of an air source heat pump was suggested. In the study, the effect of replacing night heater by heat pump and the economics were analysed. In addition the expectation of prospect of heat pump penetration was simulated based on surveyed and investigated data. As a result, fund supporting as well as institutional backing was needed for effective propagation and return of investment.

Effect of pump combinations on the vacuum characteristics of vacuum system was simulated for optimum design of system. In this investigation, the feasibility of modelling mechanism for VacSimMulti simulator was proposed. Simulation results of various pumping combinations showed the possibilities and reliabilities of simulation for the performance of vacuum system in specific semiconductor processing. Simulation of roughing pump presented the expected pumping behaviors based on commercial specifications of employed pumps. Application of booster pump exhibited the high pumping efficiency for middle vacuum range. Combinations of optimum backing pump for diffusion and turbo vacuum system were obtained. And, the predictable characteristics of process application of both simulated systems were also acquired.

As the industry requiring clean vacuum condition like semiconductor and display manufacturing expands, importance of dry vacuum pumps has been increased. Screw-type dry vacuum pump, occupying major share with multi-stage roots pump in dry-pump market, has big strength specially in harsh application area accompanying serious by-product accumulation. Recently, development in screw-type pump has been focused on improving energy efficiency. In this article, technology of screw-type dry vacuum pump is reviewed and the requirement for actual industrial application is considered. In addition, the expected evolution for screw-type dry pump in near future is also described.

The pumping speed and the maximum compression ratio as well as the critical backing pressure as main parameters representing normal and limiting performance of a turbomolecular pump and a compound molecular pump were measured basing on a draft KS of the acceptance test procedure. Characteristics of the molecular pumps of two different kinds were compared and some points for improving regulations of the test procedure were proposed.

터보분자펌프(turbomolecular pump, TMP)는 각종 연구장비, 반도체 제조장치, 가속기, 핵융합 실험 장치 등 여러 분야에서 가장 널리 쓰이는 고진공 펌프로서 자리잡고 있다. 이런 TMP의 광범위한 사용에도 불구하고 성능평가에 관한 통일된 규격이 마련되어 있지 않다. 국제 규격협회(ISO)의 터보분자펌프 성능평가방법 시안을 토대로 제정중인 KS 규격은 아직 실험적인 근거를 자체적으로 가지고 있지 못하므로 앞으로 각 항목들에 대한 많은 실험이 수행되어야 한다. TMP의 성능을 나타내 주는 항목들 중 배기속도(pumping speed)와 압축비(compression ratio)는 가장 중요한 것들로서 다른 고진공 펌프 및 TMP 상호간의 성능을 비교할 수 있는 기본 항목이라 할 수 있다. 본 실험에서는 종래의 단순 TMP와 큰 기체유량에서도 안정된 배기속도를 유지하는 복합터보분자펌프(compound molecular pump, CMP)의 배기속도와 압축비 및 임계배압(critical backing pressure)을 KS 규격안대로 시험 평가하여 안의 평가방법과 기준의 타당성을 검토하고, 두 가지 다른 방식의 펌프에 적용할 수 있는지를 검토하였다. TMP 및 CMP 흡기구에 표준용기를 부착하고 수소 및 질소 기체를 사용하여 흡기구 압력을 변화시키면서 배기속도 및 압축비를 측정하고 배기구 압력을 변호시키면서 최대압축비 및 임계배압을 측정하였다. 흡기구의 압력측정에는 인출형 전리진공계(EG)를 사용하였고, 배기구의 압력측정은 전기용량의 격막진공계(CDG)와 피라니 진공계로 측정하였다. 진공계는 모두 회전식 점성진공계(SRG)로 교정한 후 사용하였다.

Current feeder system (CFS) for Korea superconducting tokamak advanced research(KSTAR) project plays a role to interconnect magnet power supply (MPS) and superconducting (SC) magnets through the normal bus-bar at the room temperature(300 K) environment and the SC bus-line at the low temperature (4.5 K) environment. It is divided by two systems, i.e., toroidal field system which operates at 35 kA DC currents and poloidal field system wherein 20$\sim$26 kA pulsed currents are applied during 350 s transient time. Aside from the vacuum system of main cryostat, an independent vacuum system was constructed for the CFS in which a roughing system is consisted by a rotary and a mechanical booster pump and a high vacuum system is developed by four cryo-pumps with one dry pump as a backing pump. A self interlock and its control system, and a supervisory interlock and its control system are also established for the operational reliability as well. The entire CFS was completely tested including the reliability of local/supervisory control/interlock, helium gas leakage, vacuum pressure, and so on.
