Nope, it would just heat the steel.
My reaction chamber works ok because its big enough where I can put a teflon container in it, but the idea of having something I could turn off vac, vent, open, and then do whatever and reclose it in a few minutes seems really appealing.

Hey @tweedledew this was a while ago now lol
I was just sitting here thinking about vibrations and vacuum ovens again today and found our old discussion on the matter.
Did you ever get any further with the idea or research behind vibrated vacuum purging?
I’m currently contemplating it for use in the final purging stages of light hydrocarbon extractions whereas previously I’d been looking at it from an early purge improvement for ethanol extracts.
Look into degassing sonication and vacuum degassers w/ultrasonic.
Ive been wanting to try it out on high terp extracts for years.

Nah, it fell to the wayside. Too much other stuff on the go.
I did definitely want to try ultrasonic aided.
I’d assume that you’d need to keep everything at a low viscosity for ultrasonic to work. So might need to be at 40-50c. I don’t know how you’d combine a thin film with ultrasonic though. I think having high surface area would assist purging more than the ultrasonic would alone.
Deleted, no ultrasonic. My bad.
I’m tired of waiting for these damn bubbles to pop
