What is this box
Index Previous in Thread Next in Thread

In the fore pump line of the system that I bought there is this stainless steel box. It has a stainless steel grid inside each port with what looks like steel coils between each grid. I assume it is an oil trap of some kind. With this box in the system, it took forever (6 hrs) to pump down to 100 microns. It must be outgassing something like mad. Can I bake this thing out in my oven?
I hope that these digital pictures are not spamming the web site. If I will delete them
