bakeout
Heating to decontaminate
A bakeout is a controlled heating process used to remove contaminants, moisture, or volatile compounds from materials or equipment.
In vacuum systems, bakeout drives off adsorbed gases from chamber walls.
In construction, it accelerates off-gassing from new building materials before occupancy: The contractor scheduled a two-week bakeout before employees moved in.
