Vacuum/Surface Treating Practical Vacuum: Good Design, Procedures and Maintenance Equals Good Vacuum Dick Amos and Simon Bruce, BOC Edwards Crawley, West Sussex, UK Vacuum is used to control the environment in many heat treatment processes and the vacuum pumping systems used may be simple or complex. This article offers practical recommendations to handle oper- ational issues that can arise with these systems to optimize perform- ance, reliability and safety. he application of vacuum in as important as the selection of the pump • Faster processing to increase product industrial processes is widespread technology itself, and making what may throughput with the heat treating industry appear to be small changes in configuration using vacuum in a broad range of can make significant improvements to vac- Typical vacuum heat treatment processes, many of which place particular uum pump reliability and reduce interven- processes and problems demands on the vacuum pumps.
