Abstract

762,365. Discharge apparatus. EDWARDS & CO. (LONDON), Ltd., W. Oct. 8, 1954 [July 10, 1953], No. 19260/53. Class 39(1). In an ionization vacuum pump the ionization of the gas to be evacuated is effected by means of a high frequency discharge. The pump shown comprises a cylindrical discharge chamber 1 of glass or other dielectric material having good secondary emission properties connected to a metal vessel 2 which it is required to evacuate. The vessel 2 is provided with an earth connection 3. A collector electrode 5 having a lead 6 for connection to a source of high voltage is supported in a continuation 4 of the chamber 1 of reduced diameter which is connected to a backing pump (not shown). A coil 7 surrounding the discharge chamber 1 is connected to a high frequency oscillator 8. An additional steady transverse magnetic field may be supplied to increase the lengths of the paths traversed by the electrons. The coil 7 may be replaced by two coils, each embracing one half of the periphery of the chamber 1, or by two plate electrodes either inside or outside the chamber. The discharge can be started with a potential as low as 100 volts, the required large increase in the number of electrons being obtained by secondary emission from the walls of the discharge chamber. The ionized gas particles resulting from collision are attracted towards the electrode 5 thereby forming a stream of gas which passes to the backing pump.
