As the size and complexity of vacuum systems increases the financial and technical challenges do so also. Accurate modeling allows system optimisation in advance of engineering efforts and negates the need for inefficient empirical iterations. This paper will describe a computational modeling technique which allows the modeling of vacuum systems incorporating any number of primary and secondary pumps and all other elements of a vacuum system. Real examples will be used to illustrate accuracy and efficacy.
