SC 920 Vacuum pump system with remote control and PC control
06.04.2009
The SC 920 Vacuum pump system from KNF Lab comes equipped with wireless remote control. This feature eliminates the need to set up the system near the process apparatus and provides previously unheard-of flexibility in the laboratory. What's more, the system can now be tucked away inside laboratory furniture or placed underneath a fume hood without the hassle of running cables.
A wireless remote controller with intuitive user guidance provides a convenient way to control the Vacuum pump system and monitor ongoing processes. Four operation modes are available: Evacuate, Pressure control, Automatic (the system independently determines the sample's vapor pressure), and Individual pressure function, where pressure is controlled according to the user's custom pressure profile. The user can switch from any of these modes to manual process control at any time.
The Vacuum pump system consists of a vacuum pump with elec-tronic control, a suction-side separator, a high-performance con-denser with separator on the pressure side, and a hand terminal for remote control. Software that permits PC-based control over the Vacuum pump system is also included. One interesting feature is the ability to save pressure curves and retrieve them at a later time.
The new Vacuum pump system is characterized by short process times, made possible by intelligent pressure control and the pump's patented diaphragm stabilization system. The Vacuum pump system is very quiet in operation and delivers ultimate vacuum of 2 mbar ab-solute; maximum flow rate is 20 liters per minute. All parts that con-tact gas are made of chemical-resistant materials.
