Vacuum Chamber Vent Valve

Table of Contents:
Introduction
A vent valve is located on the door flange of the main vacuum chamber. It has a solenoid within that is controlled by mains power: the vent valve opens when power is applied, and closes when power is removed.
Within KPF it is remotely-controlled by turning its PDU outlet on or off (via kpfpower).
This valve should only be operated by engineering staff while following the chamber venting procedure. |
