A scroll vacuum pump has a unique design, which encompasses both an orbiting and fixed scroll. With the orbiting scroll, its movement ensures the pump is able to bring in gas through the system. When the rotor starts to move, the gas is gently compressed as it continues to go through the system towards the pump exhaust.
The purpose of designing it in this manner is to make sure there is enough room for everything to work without needing any type of lubrication. This is done by making sure all of the bearings are not getting in the way of the gas compression and nothing is leaking out. This is why the solution is made to keep the gas inside in traditional situations. Once the pump is in place, it is a low-maintenance solution and the seals are going to remain in place for as long as they need to.
Agilent Dry Scroll Pumps
To start reducing low base pressures, an Isolated Dry Pump (IDP) is utilized to make sure everything is functioning properly. This ensures the environment around your lab is as clean as possible.
With the IDP scroll, it is not going to need oil. This is essential to avoid additional leaks and/or similar issues when it comes to the overall system. The chances of dealing with any type of hydrocarbon contamination also go out the window within the system. Having something as robust as this reduces repair costs and keeps the system moving forward.
Traditional pumps require a lot of upkeep and this can take away from everything else. It is better to go with a solution that has a solid seal and is easy to manage. Most seals are able to last for up to three years without breaking down or creating trouble.
A dry scroll pump is also a wonderful way to reduce costs such as the management of oil (changing, topping, and disposals). You are also not going to have to deal with potential pump seizures.
Easy To Install
These pumps are great for a number of reasons and one of them has to do with the lightweight design and energy-efficient setup. The pump is able to work within any design. This ensures it doesn't require additional power and it fits in seamlessly. The right IDP scroll pump requires nothing more than simple IEC power cords to get the job done. This is why the design functions well and it is able to remain quiet at the same time.
How Does It Work?
Agilent IDP pumps work by creating a "vacuum" with a dual-scroll mechanism. This means the scrolls orbit close to each other as a way to pump gas. When the gas comes in, it is compressed and then pushed towards the exhaust.
Reliable
There are more than 25,000+ Agilent scrolls in operation around the world and this technology is only getting stronger by the day. These pumps use a world-class single-stage design, which is able to offer a straightforward dry vacuum. This ensures the solution is versatile, manageable, and cost-efficient at the same time regardless of how it is used. This is what makes it such a powerful option for Research and Development projects. Having something as structured as this is a game-changer because of its well-regarded seal technology.
