The required pump capacity is approximately 11.67 L/s. Suppose we have a vacuum system with a

Create a new Excel spreadsheet and set up the following columns:

Enter the known values in the respective columns. Use the formula above to calculate the required pump capacity (S) in the last column.

Suppose we have a vacuum system with a volume of 100 L, a gas load of 10 L/s, and a desired vacuum level of 10 mbar. The pumping time is 10 minutes (600 seconds).
