Pfeiffer Vacuum supplies turbopumps to CERN
Pfeiffer Vacuum has once again received a significant order from CERN for turbopumps and turbopumping stations. CERN is the world's largest research center for particle physics and its main task is to research the matter that makes up the universe.
In the particle accelerator LHC (Large Hadron Collider) with a circumference of around 27 km, protons and ions are shot at each other at almost the speed of light. The LHC consists of beam tubes in which an ultra-high vacuum must prevail. These beam tubes are pre-evacuated with turbopumping stations. Subsequently, turbopumps with high compression for light gases are responsible for generating the isolation vacuum. The insulation vacuum is important for the operation of the superconducting magnets at a temperature of -271 °C.
Arthur Pfeiffer GmbH developed the turbopump in 1958. At that time, the aim was to create a hydrocarbon-free vacuum. Today, turbopumps from Pfeiffer Vacuum are the epitome of high-tech products with high reliability and optimum performance data. CERN was one of the first customers for this innovative product and is still an important user of Pfeiffer Vacuum products today. Comprehensive vacuum equipment is required to generate the vacuum, measure the vacuum and analyze the partial pressure at CERN, and Pfeiffer Vacuum supplies a large part of this equipment. am
