BOOST TECHNOLOGY

For our Analytical Instrument Customers the “T” variants of nEXT240,300,400 employ a unique regenerative pumping stage which can be used to ‘boost’ the performance of the backing pump.

A much simplified vacuum solution with greatly improved pumping speeds and system power reduction

The examples below shows how boost can be used to either reduce the size of the primary pump or increase the gas flow into the instrument on a differentially pumped system.
It also illustrates how the number of turbo pumps required can be reduced from two discrete pumps to a single split flow pump with two inlets to achieve the same vacuum performance.
Customers in general laboratory and R&D applications will also benefit from the improved compression achieved with the “T” variant.
To take maximum advantage of boost technology, please contact Edwards.
