With the TURBOVAC iR variants, vacuum manufacturer Leybold is launching a new, full turbomolecular pump series, technologically derived from the confirmed TURBOVAC i family. “The iR models exchange the former TURBOVAC ClassicLine pumps and meet, for example, the necessities of our high-end research clients – such as the most important research institutes CERN or DESY,” summarizes the accountable 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 merchandise had been also designed to withstand the challenges that are present in environments with excessive to very high ionizing radiation. “For this, we provide special cable lengths of up to 200 meters, and in addition the option for the users to make use of their own cables,” explains product supervisor Petr Lastovicka. According to Lastovicka, the iR models were developed using the prevailing material data of the research community: As a end result, the materials they comprise 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 apart from commonplace market models, which are assembly the market necessities but not particularly these wanted for the actual situations encountered in research facilities,” says Petr Lastovicka. This is completely different with the TURBOVAC iR product series: on the one hand, they had been developed for the particular requirements relating to cable size and radiation tolerance. “In addition, we will offer the TURBOVAC iR pumps mixed with our ion pumps and NEG pumps, which different suppliers can not supply as a package,” provides Lastovicka. TURBOVAC iR matches perfectly properly within the TURBOVAC i eco techniques as different products such as equipment or the software program LeyAssist may be utilized as well.
The backside line is that the new iR models are designed to satisfy the technical necessities of the high-energy physics market. This makes them predestined for purposes similar to 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
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 helps all related communication choices of the TURBOVAC I, USB, 15-pin digital I/O and all serial and fieldbus choices of the TURBO.DRIVE 500e. เครื่องมือที่ใช้วัดความดันเลือด : The built-in, new TURBO.DRIVE controller routinely acknowledges the pump model and instantly adjusts to the particular working modes.
The TURBOVAC iR vary fully covers all present members of the TURBOVAC i household with pumping speeds from ninety to 950 l/s. In parallel, Leybold will successively expand the accessories vary of supporting controllers and cable choices to satisfy buyer needs for
additional cable lengths and clever solutions. The intelligent Controller TURBO.DRIVE 500eC has been released in April and the TURBOVAC iR sizes 1350 and 1450 will follow in the third quarter of 2022 along with the more powerful controller choice to understand even longer cable lengths.
