A vacuum control system allows the degree of vacuum in a vacuum vessel to
be kept constant while removing vaporized components degassed into the
vacuum vessel through a gas permeation diaphragm by stably introducing a
very small amount of air into a vacuum exhaust path of the vacuum vessel.
The vacuum control system controls the rotary power of a DC brushless
motor, continuously controls displacement of a vacuum pump, and thus
keeps the degree of vacuum in a vacuum vessel constant, by decompressing
the inside of the vacuum vessel using an exhaust vacuum pump which
operates with the DC brushless motor, monitoring the inside pressure of
the vacuum vessel using a pressure sensor, and controlling a voltage
applied to the DC brushless motor on the basis of an output signal
resulting from measurement of the inside pressure of the vacuum vessel by
the pressure sensor.
