Overview

The Agilent 1260 Infinity micro vacuum degasser, model G1379B, comprises a 4-channel vacuum container, including 4 micro structured membranes, and a vacuum pump. When the micro vacuum degasser is switched on, the control circuit turns on the vacuum pump, which is operated with constant speed and voltage generates a partial vacuum in the vacuum container. The pressure is measured by a pressure sensor. The micro vacuum degasser maintains the partial vacuum with the help of a controlled leak in the degasser’s proportional valve and by varying size of the controlled leak within the proportional valve, depending on the signal from the pressure sensor.
