  The vacuum interlock and monitor systems of Taiwan Photon Source are designed to maintain the ultra-high vacuum condition and to protect the vacuum devices. The pressure readings of ionization gauges are taken as the judgment logic to control the opening and closing of sector gate valves so as to protect the ultra-high vacuum condition. Monitors of the water-cooling system and the chamber temperature serve to protect vacuum devices from radiation hazards. The preparation, installation and status of the interlock and monitor systems are presented in this paper.

  In the Taiwan Photon Source project, the storage ring includes 24 sectors (each of length 14 m) of an aluminium vacuum chamber system. The design, manufacture, cleaning, welding and assembly of the vacuum components were undertaken by the NSRRC vacuum group. The ultimate objective is to attain a leak-tight, ultra-high vacuum and a vacuum system with a small rate of outgassing. In this work, we used a residual-gas analyzer (RGA) to analyze the variation of residual gas during proceeding toward ultra-high vacuum. This process, which led the pressure down to ~10-11 torr, includes baking, operation of ion pumps, degassing of hot cathode gauges and activation of NEG pumps. When a sufficiently small low pressure is attained, the ion pumps are turned off to test the building up of pressure. The outgassing property and the variation of the residual gas of the aluminium chamber and the ion pumps can be measured.
