Leybold Cryo Pumps & Systems
Cryo pumps, the gas entrapment vacuum pumps. Our pumps cover the pressure range from 10-3 to ≤ 10-11 mbar. The principle of operation is that gaseous substances are bound to the cold surfaces within the pump by means of cryocondensation, cryosorption or cryotrapping. Cryo pumps do not have any mechanically moving, oil or grease lubricated parts on the vacuum side. In order to produce high or ultra-high vacuum, the cold surfaces/cryo panels must be cooled to a sufficiently low temperature. They are cooled by the well-proven, highly reliable one or two-stage refrigerators from Leybold’s COOLPOWER i line (Gifford/McMahon principle). he pumping speed for all gases as well as air is highly effective. Even more so for water (H2O) and hydrogen (H2). The cooling performance and cool down can be increased by variable motor speed of the cold dead as well as the compressor Build with reliable COOLPOWER i cold heads and COOLPAK i compressors. Cryo pumps are insensitive to mechanical disturbances from particles coming from the process or external vibrations.

Leybold vacuum measurement and control solutions
With a wide range of vacuum systems and processes comes a need to measure the vacuum performance. The instruments used for measuring the pressure within this wide range are called vacuum gauges and measure from above atmospheric pressure (~ 2000 mbar (1500 Torr)) down to 10-12 mbar/torr. No single sensor technology is capable of measuring across this range. Therefore, a variety of different vacuum gauges are available, each with their own characteristics and ability to measure over multiple decades of vacuum. In order to widen the measurement range, it is now common to combine multiple technologies into a single gauge to reduce the connections needed in a system. A main way to differentiate vacuum gauge types is by how they measure the gas: direct or indirect pressure measurements. In the case of direct (or gas independent) pressure measurements, the readings obtained through the vacuum gauge are independent of the type of gas and the pressure given is always the true pressure of the system. Often relying on a mechanical deflection of a membrane, these are capable of measuring from above atmospheric pressure down to 10-4 mbar/torr. These gauge types will give you high accuracy over a short range and are typically very robust. In the case of indirect pressure measurements, the pressure is determined as a function of a pressure dependent property of the gas (thermal conductivity, ionization probability, for example). These properties do not only depend on the pressure, but also on the molar mass of the gases. Therefore, these are also known as gas dependent. The readings usually relate to air or nitrogen as the measurement gas. For the measurement of other vapors or gases the corresponding correction factors must be applied for the true pressure of the system. These gauges are capable of pressure measurement over a much wider range (atmospheric pressure to 10 x 10-12 mbar dependent on type/combination), with the tradeoff being a lower level of accuracy.

Leybold PENNINGVAC series PTR 90/225 RN vacuum gauges
These gauges are accurate and have a small, compact footprint. They are packed with cutting edge technologies taking them to even higher levels when it comes to measuring vacuum. The active PENNINGVAC series PTR 90/225 RN utilize multiple enhancements to increase the gauges service intervals in harsh applications. This coupled with the ultra-low turn on pressure enabled in the combined sensor leads to a sensor suitable across a wide range of applications requiring rough to high vacuum measurement. PENNINGVAC PTR 225 RN: Pure cold cathode Our cold cathode gauges use the PENNING principle of cold cathode ionization. Their measuring range of 10-2 to 10-9 enables you to measure into the high vacuum region. To control the turning on of the gauge, it would be best combined with one of our THERMOVAC or CERAVAC gauges. By separating out the technology, you have the option to decide how you want to control the gauges turn on point. As with most of our active gauges: we have both analogue 0-10 V linear outputs and digital communications available. PENNINGVAC PTR 90 RN: Combined cold cathode gauges Our combined cold cathode gauges use the inverted magnetron principle of cold cathode ionization and is combined with a pirani gauge. By combining the technologies into a single more compact sensor, the measuring range is increased enabling a reliable pressure measurement from atmosphere to 1 x 10-9. The on/off function of the cold cathode is controlled automatically by the integrated pirani, seamlessly eliminating any risk of running the cold cathode at too high a pressure which could lead to a reduced lifespan. Both analogue 0-10v linear outputs and digital communications are available.
