With the TURBOVAC iR variants, vacuum producer Leybold is launching a new, complete turbomolecular pump collection, technologically derived from the confirmed TURBOVAC i family. “The iR models substitute the former TURBOVAC ClassicLine pumps and meet, for instance, the necessities of our high-end research customers – such as the major analysis institutes CERN or DESY,” summarizes the responsible product manager, Petr Lastovicka.
Accordingly, the TURBOVAC iR was designed for versatile distant operation from 3 meters to distances of one kilometre. In all aspects the products were additionally designed to resist the challenges that are present in environments with excessive to very high ionizing radiation. “For this, we offer special cable lengths of as a lot as 200 meters, and also the choice for the users to make use of their own cables,” explains product supervisor Petr Lastovicka. According to Lastovicka, the iR fashions were developed using the present material data of the research community: As a result, the supplies they contain have radiation tolerances of as a lot as 1 million grays (Gy).
In mixture with the ion getter and non-evaporable getter pumps, so called ultra-high vacuum pumps, “These attributes set them aside from standard market models, that are assembly the market requirements but not particularly these needed for the particular conditions encountered in research facilities,” says Petr Lastovicka. This is different with the TURBOVAC iR product sequence: on the one hand, they have been developed for the particular necessities concerning cable size and radiation tolerance. “In addition, we are in a position to offer the TURBOVAC iR pumps mixed with our ion pumps and NEG pumps, which other suppliers can’t supply as a package,” adds Lastovicka. TURBOVAC iR fits completely nicely in the TURBOVAC i eco techniques as different products similar to equipment or the software LeyAssist could be utilized as properly.
The bottom line is that the brand new iR fashions are designed to meet the technical requirements 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, customers can remove the electronics and place them in areas
where they do not seem to be 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 model new TURBOVAC iR collection. The TURBOVAC iR additionally helps all related communication options of the TURBOVAC I, USB, 15-pin digital I/O and all serial and fieldbus options of the TURBO.DRIVE 500e. Another benefit: The built-in, new TURBO.DRIVE controller routinely acknowledges the pump mannequin and instantly adjusts to the specific operating modes.
The TURBOVAC iR range completely covers all present members of the TURBOVAC i household with pumping speeds from ninety to 950 l/s. In parallel, Leybold will successively increase the equipment range of supporting controllers and cable choices to satisfy customer wants for
additional cable lengths and intelligent solutions. เกจวัดแรงดันเชื้อเพลิง .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 extra highly effective controller choice to comprehend even longer cable lengths.
