Air Conditioning Vacuum Pump
- air conditioner: a system that keeps air cool and dry
- (Air-conditioned) buses fares cost a little over four times the fare of an ‘Ordinary’ route covering the same distance. Those buses have route numbers starting with A.
- A system for controlling the humidity, ventilation, and temperature in a building or vehicle, typically to maintain a cool atmosphere in warm conditions
- An Original Equipment or Aftermarket accessory system that cools and dries the incoming passenger compartment air. Aka: a/c
air conditioning
- A vacuum pump is a device that removes gas molecules from a sealed volume in order to leave behind a partial vacuum. The vacuum pump was invented in 1650 by Otto von Guericke.
- (Vacuum pumps) Vacuum pumps to suck air or air/steam mixtures from the chamber.
- A pump used for creating a vacuum
- air pump: a pump that moves air in or out of something

This thermal vacuum chamber exposes spacecraft components and other payloads to the environmental conditions they will experience once in space. The chamber has massive mechanical vacuum pumps, which are essentially large versions of the vacuum cleaners people use at home. To augment those, the chamber uses cryopumps to ensure that the hard vacuum of space is simulated in the test chamber. The cryopumps use liquid nitrogen to condense remaining gases out of the chamber once the mechanical pumps have done their work.
The two types of pumps work together to eliminate all but the tiniest trace of air in the chamber, down to about a billionth of Earth’s normal atmospheric pressure.
To simulate the hot and cold extremes possible in space, the thermal vacuum chamber can reach temperatures in a 600-degree range from 302 F all the way down to minus 310 F (hence the "thermal" vacuum chamber). The cylindrical chamber is 40 feet tall and 27 feet wide.
