With the TURBOVAC iR variants, vacuum producer Leybold is launching a new, full turbomolecular pump sequence, technologically derived from the confirmed TURBOVAC i household. “The iR fashions replace the previous TURBOVAC ClassicLine pumps and meet, for example, the requirements of our high-end analysis clients – such as the main analysis institutes CERN or DESY,” summarizes the accountable product manager, Petr Lastovicka.
Accordingly, the TURBOVAC iR was designed for flexible remote operation from three meters to distances of one kilometre. In all features the merchandise have been additionally designed to resist the challenges which are current in environments with high to very excessive ionizing radiation. “For this, we offer special cable lengths of as much as 200 meters, and also the option 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 information of the analysis group: As a end result, the supplies they include have radiation tolerances of up to 1 million grays (Gy).
In เกจวัดแรงดันสูญญากาศ with the ion getter and non-evaporable getter pumps, so referred to as ultra-high vacuum pumps, “These attributes set them aside from standard market fashions, that are assembly the market requirements however not specifically those wanted for the actual conditions encountered in analysis facilities,” says Petr Lastovicka. This is totally different with the TURBOVAC iR product sequence: on the one hand, they have been developed for the particular requirements relating to cable length and radiation tolerance. “In addition, we will provide the TURBOVAC iR pumps mixed with our ion pumps and NEG pumps, which different suppliers cannot provide as a package deal,” provides Lastovicka. TURBOVAC iR suits completely well in the TURBOVAC i eco methods as different products corresponding to equipment or the software program LeyAssist may be utilized as well.
The bottom 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 purposes 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 aren’t exposed to radiation,” explains Petr Lastovicka.
Another elementary condition in these application areas is completely the purity of the pump: this core requirement is fulfilled by the oil-free operation of the bearing system of the new TURBOVAC iR series. The TURBOVAC iR additionally 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 built-in, new TURBO.DRIVE controller automatically acknowledges the pump mannequin and immediately adjusts to the precise operating modes.
The TURBOVAC iR range utterly covers all present members of the TURBOVAC i household with pumping speeds from 90 to 950 l/s. In parallel, Leybold will successively increase the equipment vary of supporting controllers and cable options to meet customer needs for
additional cable lengths and clever solutions. The clever Controller TURBO.DRIVE 500eC has been launched in April and the TURBOVAC iR sizes 1350 and 1450 will observe within the third quarter of 2022 along with the extra powerful controller choice to understand even longer cable lengths.
