Abstract
A molecular jet separator includes a body which defines an evacuation chamber. A bore in the body traverses the chamber so that the bore has two segments on opposite sides of the chamber. Respective tubes are seated in these bore segments, with their opposed ends in direct or indirect engagement within the chamber, in a firm fit so that the bores of the tubes are substantially aligned. The bores of the tubes are open at the aforesaid opposed ends, and at least one of these opposed ends is shaped to define a predetermined gap between the opposed open ends of the tube bores.
Claims7
A molecular jet separator comprising:
- a body defining an evacuation chamber including an outlet;
- a tubular bore in said body traversing the chamber whereby the bore has two segments on opposite sides of said chamber;
- respective tubes seated and slidably received in said bore segments, with at least a portion of their opposed adjacent ends in engagement with each other within said chamber, in a firm fit so that the bores of the tubes are substantially aligned, said bores of tubes being open at said opposed adjacent ends;
- wherein one of said opposed adjacent ends of one of said tubes has an offset portion which, defines a predetermined gap between the opposed open adjacent ends of the tube.
