Description 1 Description Use and media compatibility The TURBOVAC TW 250 S is a turbomolecular pump with integrated or external frequency converter. It is de- signed to evacuate vacuum chambers down to pressure levels in the high vacuum range. It is suitable for pum- ping air and clean, non-corrosive gases.
The pumps exhibit a threaded hole, used as the connec- tion point for venting. This port is sealed at the factory with a screw and gasket ring. The TURBOVAC TW 250 S has an additional purge gas device. The purge gas is also connected at the venting port.
