Edwards nXL 110i Dry Pump

Edwards is delighted to introduce the new air cooled nXLi dry pump range, designed to deliver a consistent performance worldwide with complete user flexibility in mind. This new single phase pump is available in two options: nXL110i and nXL200i. Both are optimized for LCMS and ICPMS duties and are capable of handling gas loads of up to 25 slm. The nXLi can also be used on chambers up to 100 liters, at continuous inlet pressures up to 15 mbar with occasional pump down.

Performance is at the core of the nXLi. The intelligent drive enables the system to achieve an enhanced performance plateau from single phase power supply and a consistent worldwide operation. The choice of control options are either manual, simple remote or serial communications. These may be utilized to provide real control for the system builder.

The nXLi provides a small footprint with quiet operation making it a convenient and flexible high performing, yet compact, vacuum pump. The oil-free non-contacting pump mechanism will provide extended operation with maximum up time, up to five year service life, with zero maintenance and no oil to dispose of.

During the initial chamber pump down the nXLi is able to work harder than normal. The intelligent transient overload protection will allow a higher power draw for a short period of time for initial evacuation of the chamber from atmospheric pressure to operating pressure. This higher initial power boost enables the pump to overcome initial gas loads and once operating pressure is achieved less power is required.

ThenXLi is the ideal dry pump for Scientific OEMs, LCMS end users, ICPMS end users and in applications where a consistent performance, control and reliability are essential.
