Harnessing the Power of Fusion: The Essential Role of Vacuum Technology in Fusion Energy Production
Fusion energy could be the holy grail for a nearly limitless energy source with minimal environmental impact. It relies on replicating the processes found in stars, where hydrogen isotopes fuse under extreme temperatures to release energy. To achieve these conditions on Earth, fusion reactors like tokamaks and stellarators are operated under ultra-high vacuum (UHV) conditions.
Vacuum Measurement for Fusion Energy
In fusion reactors, cold cathode or hot cathode ionization vacuum gauges are typically used to measure and control reactor pressure. Other gauges, such as Pirani gauges, are used in vacuum forelines and auxiliary vacuum systems in fusion energy research. The Sens4 wide-range MEMS Pirani gauge, with its corrosion-resistant ceramic option, is utilized in fusion research applications.
The TVC-3 Controller enable use of ultra high vacuum ionization gauges from other vendors.
