Baffles
Information guide
Baffles are used in vacuum systems to improve the performance of diffusion pumps.
They are mainly used to :
- Reduce oil retrodiffusion: Baffles minimise contamination of vacuum chambers by preventing oil vapours from rising to these sensitive areas.
- Improve vacuum quality: By limiting impurities, they help maintain a cleaner vacuum environment, essential for precise applications.
- Protect equipment: By preventing unwanted particles from reaching critical components, baffles extend the life of instruments and ensure their smooth operation.
Baffles are essential for optimising the efficiency and cleanliness of vacuum systems, particularly in environments requiring rigorous control of polluant particles.
