Vacuum remediation system

For use in removing undesired moisture and contamination particles from an apparatus, a vacuum remediation system comprising:

• a support member having an operation surface to support the apparatus to be remediated;
• a moisture vaporization device coupled to said support member, said moisture vaporization device including a vacuum system adapted to provide a reduced level of pressure on the apparatus to be remediated;
• a control circuit coupled to said moisture vaporization device, said control circuit including a selectively actuatable circuit to limit and actuate operation of said moisture vaporization device;
• whereby undesired moisture and contamination particles are removed from the apparatus to be remediated;
• and
• a vibration system adapted to impart a predetermined level of vibration to the apparatus to be remediated, said predetermined level of vibration enhancing vaporization of undesired moisture and loosening contamination particles.

For use in remediating an apparatus by removing undesired moisture and contamination particles from the apparatus, an electrically operable vacuum remediation system comprising:

• a housing having an operation surface, said operation surface having a mounting aperture;
• a resilient member mounted in said mounting aperture, said resilient member having a vacuum aperture therethrough and a fluid-sealing surface;
• a power receiving circuit adapted to be coupled to a source of electrical power;
• a pump mounted within said housing, said pump having an exhaust port and an input port coupled to said vacuum aperture;
• a motor coupled to said power receiving circuit and connected to said pump to cause said pump to operate when electrical power is provided to said power receiving circuit and applied to said motor;
• a removable apparatus encapsulation chamber having a fluid-sealing surface to operate in cooperation with said fluid-sealing surface to inhibit flow of fluid therebetween;
• an actuatable control circuit having a power circuit coupled to said power receiving circuit, said power circuit to apply electrical power to said motor when actuated and having a selectively actuatable circuit to limit and actuate said power circuit;
• whereby said pump reduces fluid pressure within said removable apparatus encapsulation chamber thereby causing vaporization of moisture on and in said apparatus and aspirates vaporized moisture and contamination particles through said vacuum aperture and out said exhaust port, said pump being mounted in a predetermined proximity to said resilient member to cause said resilient member to vibrate in response to operation of said pump, the apparatus being remediated being subjected to vibration in a manner to improve vaporization of undesired moisture and to loosen contamination particles.
