Cryopumps are specialized vacuum pumps designed for creating and maintaining extremely low pressures. They are primarily used in scientific research and industrial applications, such as:
- High-vacuum systems: Cryopumps are essential for creating and maintaining ultra-high vacuum conditions in scientific instruments like electron microscopes, mass spectrometers, and particle accelerators.
- Semiconductor manufacturing: Cryopumps are used in the semiconductor industry for various processes, including etching, deposition, and sputtering.
- Space simulation: Cryopumps are employed in chambers that simulate the vacuum of space for testing spacecraft components and materials.
Cryopumps are not typically used in physiotherapy. Physiotherapy focuses on physical rehabilitation and treatment using various methods, including manual therapy, exercise, and electrotherapy. Cryopumps, with their specialized applications, are not relevant to the practice of physiotherapy.
