In short
Industrial gases: vacuum pumps – the key facts
- ManufacturersFor industrial gases, Busch names R5, MINK, COBRA and PANDA/PUMA, and Pfeiffer Vacuum names ACP, DuoVane, HiLobe, HiScroll and COMBI – both in their product finders, without describing the tasks.
- ATEX for hydrogenFor hydrogen storage and distribution, Busch names ATEX pumps that fill and empty tanks: COBRA, DOLPHIN and R5. For the insulation spaces of double-walled tanks, Busch names scroll and turbo pumps without a family of its own.
- Insulation vacuumBoth manufacturers list insulation vacuum; Pfeiffer Vacuum describes vacuum insulation in low-temperature experiments and names ACP, DuoVane and HiScroll for it, while Busch names COBRA for cryogenics.
- SelectionWe clarify which series fits on the basis of the gas, the ultimate pressure and explosion protection.

Selection
Industrial gases: choosing a vacuum pump
What the manufacturers highlight for use in this industry.
Explosion protection
For hydrogen tanks, Busch explicitly names ATEX pumps. With flammable gases, whether a pump may operate in potentially explosive areas belongs at the start of the selection.
Insulation spaces and cryogenics
For the insulation spaces of double-walled tanks, Busch names scroll and turbo pumps; Pfeiffer Vacuum names HiScroll for hydrogen storage, and ACP, DuoVane and HiScroll for vacuum insulation in low-temperature experiments.
What the manufacturers leave open
Gas transport, liquefaction and bottle filling appear only as listings in the product finders. Pressures, volume flows and gas compatibility are clarified with you during selection.
