® Introduction C30PMVRT-E1 is a compressor unit for cryopump system. C30PMVRT-E1 can change the operation frequency with an inverter installed inside the compressor. Our Cryo MBS Meter MBDI-2 outputs a contact to the inverter and the inverter changes the compressor motor frequency depending on the second stage temperature of the cryopump.

Section 1 C30PMVRT-E1 Compressor Description Roles of compressor in cryopump system The cryopump system consists of a cryopump and a compressor and is capable of condensing and adsorbing almost all kinds of gas molecule inside the pump. Thus clean high vacuum and ultra high vacuum can be easily created.
