본 논문은 포항가속기에서 건설 중인 진공 chamger의 용접에 관한 것이다. 저장링에 전자빔을 5시간 이상 저장하기 위하여 10-10torr 이하로 진공도를 유지하도록 설계되어 있기 때문에 초고진공에 적합한 TIG 용접(tungsten inert gas welding)을 하였다. 진공 chamber는 Al 5083-H321이며 flange의 재질은 Al 2219-T852이다. Sector chamber I, II의 총 용접 길이는 각각 27m, 37m이며 진공에 유해한 균열과 virtual leak가 생기지 않도록 하는 용접조건 등을 선정하였다.

In vacuum ejector-diffuser systems where a finite volume secondary chamber is used, the secondary jet exhibits transient characteristics during start-up. A steady state is achieved after some time in which mass entrainment prevails indefinitely inside the ejector, though there is no flow from the secondary chamber. An attempt is made in this work to study the infinite entrainment of secondary jet into the primary jet from a finite secondary chamber, with the help of a computational fluid dynamics method. The present study is also intended to identify the operating range of vacuum ejector-diffuser systems where the steady flow assumption can be applied without uncertainty. The results obtained show that the only condition in which an infinite mass entrainment is possible is the generation of a re-circulation zone near the primary nozzle exit. The flow in the secondary chamber attains a state of dynamic equilibrium at this point. Steady flow assumption is valid only after this point.

The electron beam welding system has the advantages of the high power density, narrow welding section, and small thermal distortion of a workpiece. Recently, the electron beam welding system is widely used to the airplane engineering, nuclear power plant, and automobile industry. In the present paper, the structural analyses on the vacuum chamber of the electron beam welding system are performed by the F.E.M. analysis. The stiffening characteristics on the geometric shape, stiffener height and stiffener span are investigated. The deflection of the stiffened vacuum chamber under pressure is minimized by longitudinal and transverse stiffeners which are continuous in both direction.

The NBI (Neutral BGeam Injection) System for the Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research (KSTAR) is composed of ion sources, neutralizers, bending magnets, ion dumps, and calorimeter. The vacuum chamber, in which all of the beam line components are enclosed, is composed of differential pumping system for the effective transfer of the neutral beams. The needed pumping speeds of each of the divided vacuum chamber and the optimized gas flow rate ot the neutralizer were calculated with the help of the particle balance equations. The minimum gas flow rate to the ion sources for producing needed beam current (120kV, 65A, 78MW), the pressure distributions in the vacuum chamber for minimizing re-ionization loss, and the beam loss rate on the beam line components were used as the input in the calculation. Also the scenario for short pulse operation was determined by analysing the time dependent equations. It showed that beam extraction during less than 0.5 sec could be made only with TMP.

It is significant issue to control the unwanted transverse electric (TE) modes in the vacuum chamber for preventing the position reading noise from the beam position monitor (BPM) of storage ring. We introduce shunt structure to control the frequency distribution of TE resonance modes excited in the vacuum chambers of the Pohang Light Source II (PLS-II). The design of shunt structure is performed using the full three dimensional finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulation. It is verified that the sympton of the BPM noise is not oberved up to the beam current of 190 mA in the commmissioning of PLS-II.

Factros considered building the magnetron sputtering system for TFT LCD (thin film transistor liquid crystal display0 metallization were thin film thichnes uniformity, temperature uniformity and the pressure gradient of sputtering gas flow in vacuum chamber, base pressure, and the stability fo the carrier moving . The system was consisted of a deposition chamber, a pre-heating chamber, a RF-precleaning chamber and a load/unload lock chamber. The system was designed to handle a substrate with dimension of 400$\times$400mm. The temperautre uniformity of a heater table developed showed $250 ^{\circ}C\pm$5% accuracyon the substrate glass. A base pressure of 1.8 $\times$10-7 torr was obtained after 24 hours pumping with a cryo pump. After an aluminum target was installed in a sputtering source and the film wa sdeposited on the glass, the uniformity, reflectivity and sheet resistance of the deposited film were measured.

Deformations of a prototype vacuum chamber for the Storage Ring of the Pohang Light Source Project, due to both welding and baking, have been measured using the Optical Tooling Technique. The measurements aim for the acquisition of data for inspection of the chamber design and for the establishment of positional relationship with the components surrounding the chamber. The effectiveness of the Optical Tooling Technique, as a replacement for the conventional mechanical precision measurement, has been proved by the successful measurements of the vacuum chamber deformations.

This paper presents the optimal design of an exhaust system of a vacuum-compatible air bearing using a genetic algorithm. To use the air bearings in vacuum conditions, the differential exhaust method is adopted to minimize the air leakage, which prevents air from leaking into a vacuum chamber by recovering air through several successive seal stages in advance. Therefore, the design of the differential exhaust system is very important because several design parameters such as the number of seals, diameter and length of an exhaust tube, pumping speed and ultimate pressure of a vacuum pump, seal length and gap(bearing clearance) influence on the air leakage, that is, chamber's degree of vacuum. In this paper, we used a genetic algorithm to optimize the design parameters of the exhaust system of a vacuum-compatible air bearing under the several constraint conditions. The results indicate that chamber's degree of vacuum after optimization improved dramatically compared to the initial design, and that the distribution of the spatial design parameters, such as exhaust tube diameter and seal length, was well achieved, and that technical limit of the pumping speed was well determined.

Performance tests of a supersonic exhaust diffuser were conducted by using a liquid rocket engine for simulating high-altitude environment. The experimental setup consisted of a combustion chamber, a vacuum chamber and a diffuser. The combustion tests for simulating high-altitude environment were carried out at three cases by chamber pressure variation(26, 29, 32barg). The test results showed that the diffuser was started at all case and vacuum chamber pressures were approximately 140torr. The starting pressure using combustion gas was similar with that of cold gas, but the vacuum chamber pressure was relatively high because of high temperature in the vacuum chamber. The results of this test can be used as an essential database for the design of real-scale high-altitude simulation test facility in the future.

PAL(Pohang Accelerator Laboratory) designed and manufactured a 5m-long straight vacuum chamber to adopt U7 undulator that is the first insertion device. Top and bottom plates of the vacuum chamber were made of Al alloy A5083-H321, and welded together by the GTAW welding. The leak rate is less than 1×{TEX}$10^{-10}${/TEX} torr·ℓ/s with negligible welding deformation. The pressure has been maintained below {TEX}$10^{-10}${/TEX} torr after installation. This paper reports the welding process and the method applied to achieve ultimate vacuum performance and t satisfy integrity of welds.
