With the TURBOVAC iR variants, vacuum manufacturer Leybold is launching a brand new, full turbomolecular pump sequence, technologically derived from the proven TURBOVAC i family. “The iR fashions substitute the former TURBOVAC ClassicLine pumps and meet, for example, the requirements of our high-end analysis clients – similar to the main analysis institutes CERN or DESY,” summarizes the responsible product manager, Petr Lastovicka.
Accordingly, the TURBOVAC iR was designed for flexible remote operation from 3 meters to distances of one kilometre. In all elements the products had been additionally designed to withstand the challenges which are present in environments with high to very high ionizing radiation. “For this, we provide particular cable lengths of as a lot as 200 meters, and also the choice for the users to use their own cables,” explains product supervisor Petr Lastovicka. According to Lastovicka, the iR models have been developed using the present materials data of the research group: As a result, the materials they comprise have radiation tolerances of up to 1 million grays (Gy).
In combination with the ion getter and non-evaporable getter pumps, so known as ultra-high vacuum pumps, “These attributes set them other than commonplace market fashions, that are assembly the market requirements however not specifically those needed for the particular conditions encountered in research centers,” says Petr Lastovicka. This is completely different with the TURBOVAC iR product collection: on the one hand, they have been developed for the special requirements relating to cable length and radiation tolerance. “In addition, we are in a position to supply the TURBOVAC iR pumps combined with our ion pumps and NEG pumps, which different suppliers can not offer as a package deal,” adds Lastovicka. TURBOVAC iR suits perfectly nicely in the TURBOVAC i eco techniques as other products similar to accessories or the software LeyAssist may be utilized as properly.
The backside line is that the new iR models are designed to meet the technical necessities of the high-energy physics market. This makes them predestined for applications such as synchrotrons (particle accelerators), cyclotrons (circular accelerators), linear accelerators and free-electron lasers. “In these areas, users can remove the electronics and place them in areas
the place they are not uncovered to radiation,” explains Petr Lastovicka.
Another elementary situation in these application areas is absolutely the purity of the pump: this core requirement is fulfilled by the oil-free operation of the bearing system of the new TURBOVAC iR sequence. The TURBOVAC iR additionally helps all related communication options of the TURBOVAC I, USB, 15-pin digital I/O and all serial and fieldbus choices of the TURBO.DRIVE 500e. Another advantage: The built-in, new TURBO.DRIVE controller mechanically recognizes the pump model and instantly adjusts to the specific working modes.
The TURBOVAC iR range completely covers all existing members of the TURBOVAC i household with pumping speeds from 90 to 950 l/s. In เกจ์วัดแรงดันน้ำ , Leybold will successively broaden the accessories range of supporting controllers and cable choices to fulfill buyer needs for
further cable lengths and intelligent options. The clever Controller TURBO.DRIVE 500eC has been released in April and the TURBOVAC iR sizes 1350 and 1450 will observe within the third quarter of 2022 together with the more highly effective controller possibility to realize even longer cable lengths.
