Summary
The growth of multiphase flow applications of vacuum pumps requires the reexamination of traditional pump variants, which have struggled with low energy efficiency, frequent maintenance needs, unstable vacuum pressures, and high internal leakage rates. The development of an oil-free floating scroll design, which balances separating forces within the scrolls both radially and axially, minimizes overall wear and allows for the proper disposal of system byproducts. Performance tests between the SVF-series floating scroll pumps, and other traditional pumps showcase increased efficiency, decreased long-term costs, minimal maintenance requirements, and significant environmental improvements in applications such as hydrogen recirculation units for fuel cells, helium leak detection, freeze dryers, TOPCon processes within photovoltaic (PV) cells, and plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD).
