In principle, industrial vacuum pumps are merely compressors run with the inlet attached to the vacuum system and the outlet open to exhaust. In smaller sizes, compressors and vacuum pumps are often ...

If you need to create a high vacuum, there are basically two options: turbomolecular pumps and diffusion pumps. Turbomolecular pumps require rotors spinning at many thousands of rotations per minute ...

High vacuum lines and valves should be designed in accordance with the nominal pumping speed of the high vacuum pump. Otherwise, there will be considerable losses in the effective pumping speed due to ...

Agilent Technologies Inc. introduced a high-performance turbomolecular vacuum pump, the TwisTorr 304 FS, which is the first in a new series of high-vacuum pumps featuring Agilent’s novel ...
