TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to a vacuum system field, specifically relates to a cold trap for vacuum system. BACKGROUND
[0002] A cold trap is a device that prevents vapors or liquids from entering a measuring instrument from a system or from a measuring instrument into a system. It can provide a very low temperature surface, on which molecules can condense, and can improve the vacuum degree by one to two orders of magnitude. The cold trap is an important part of the stable operation of the vacuum system, and an efficient cold trap can ensure that the vacuum system can operate stably for a long time, reduce the failure of the vacuum pump, and prolong the service life of the vacuum pump.
[0003] In the prior art, the cold trap for the vacuum system is a coil pipe type cold trap, which cools the low-pressure gas by introducing a refrigerant to make the condensable gas cool and separate from the low-pressure gas. However, the heat transfer coefficient of the low-pressure gas is low, and it is not easy to be condensed, so a large heat exchange area is required. In the cold trap of the prior art, the condensable components in the low-pressure gas may still break through the cold trap and enter the subsequent vacuum pump after being condensed into liquid droplets or small solid particles, thereby causing the vacuum pump to fail or causing blockage and other adverse consequences. SUMMARY

The high-temperature medium can melt or blow all the condensed substances existing in the filler layer to the bottom of the cold trap, improve the heat exchange efficiency of the filler layer and realize the regeneration function of the filler layer.
[0013] The technical scheme of the utility model further includes that the filler layer is one or a combination of a grid filler layer, a corrugated filler layer and a pulse filler layer.
[0014] Further, the technical scheme of the utility model further includes that the filler layer is three layers, and the three layers of filler layers are sequentially a grid filler layer, a corrugated filler layer and a pulse filler layer from bottom to top. The grid filler layer at the bottom layer provides stable support for the upper filler layer and ensures good gas-liquid flowability. The corrugated filler layer in the middle can effectively increase the mass transfer area and improve the separation efficiency. The pulse filler layer at the top layer can further improve the mass transfer efficiency and reduce the possibility of blockage.
