With the TURBOVAC iR variants, vacuum manufacturer Leybold is launching a model new, full turbomolecular pump sequence, technologically derived from the proven TURBOVAC i household. “The iR fashions exchange the previous TURBOVAC ClassicLine pumps and meet, for example, the necessities of our high-end analysis customers – such as the most important research institutes CERN or DESY,” summarizes the accountable product supervisor, Petr Lastovicka.
Accordingly, the TURBOVAC iR was designed for versatile remote operation from 3 meters to distances of 1 kilometre. In all elements the merchandise were additionally designed to withstand the challenges that are current in environments with excessive to very high ionizing radiation. “For this, we provide special cable lengths of up to 200 meters, and likewise the option for the users to use their own cables,” explains product manager Petr Lastovicka. According to Lastovicka, the iR models were developed utilizing the existing materials information of the analysis group: As a end result, the materials they include have radiation tolerances of up to 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 other than standard market models, which are assembly the market necessities however not particularly those needed for the particular conditions encountered in research facilities,” says Petr Lastovicka. เกจวัดแก๊สหุงต้ม is different with the TURBOVAC iR product collection: on the one hand, they have been developed for the special requirements concerning cable length and radiation tolerance. “In addition, we will provide the TURBOVAC iR pumps mixed with our ion pumps and NEG pumps, which other suppliers cannot supply as a package deal,” adds Lastovicka. TURBOVAC iR matches perfectly nicely in the TURBOVAC i eco systems as other merchandise such as accessories or the software program LeyAssist may be utilized as properly.
The backside line is that the new iR fashions are designed to fulfill 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, users can remove the electronics and place them in areas
where they aren’t uncovered to radiation,” explains Petr Lastovicka.
Another elementary condition in these application areas is the absolute purity of the pump: this core requirement is fulfilled by the oil-free operation of the bearing system of the brand new TURBOVAC iR collection. The TURBOVAC iR also supports all relevant communication options of the TURBOVAC I, USB, 15-pin digital I/O and all serial and fieldbus choices of the TURBO.DRIVE 500e. Another benefit: The integrated, new TURBO.DRIVE controller mechanically recognizes the pump model and instantly adjusts to the precise operating modes.
The TURBOVAC iR vary completely covers all existing members of the TURBOVAC i household with pumping speeds from 90 to 950 l/s. In parallel, Leybold will successively expand the equipment vary of supporting controllers and cable options to meet customer wants for
extra cable lengths and clever options. The intelligent Controller TURBO.DRIVE 500eC has been released in April and the TURBOVAC iR sizes 1350 and 1450 will comply with in the third quarter of 2022 together with the more powerful controller option to understand even longer cable lengths.
