Edwards EH1200 HC: 3Ph 380/400 V 50 Hz, IE3 (Europe/China)

Edwards EH1200 – Roots pump with hydrokinetic drive

The EH1200 belongs to Edwards' EH series of mechanical boosters (250 to 4200 m³/h). It has a pumping capacity of 1195 m³/h at 50 Hz and 1435 m³/h at 60 Hz and is combined with a suitable backing pump to improve the pumping speed and ultimate pressure of a system. The motor delivers 3 kW; the pump weighs 155 kg and is water-cooled.

Hydrokinetic drive

The motor drives one of the rotors via a fluid coupling. At a high gas load the speed of the rotors drops; as the gas load decreases they accelerate to full speed. The pump can thus be operated from atmospheric pressure over the whole vacuum range without overloading the motor – pressure switches, bypass lines or frequency converters are not needed. This limits the differential pressure across the pump, on the EH1200 to 0–90 mbar at 50 Hz and 0–75 mbar at 60 Hz.

Typical applications

Edwards names, among others, semiconductor manufacturing, thin-film coating, vacuum impregnation, vacuum distillation, vacuum metallurgy, oil drying and degassing, vacuum packaging, low-density wind tunnels, pharmaceutical freeze drying, steel degassing, space simulation and CO₂ lasers.

Versions of the Edwards EH1200

The EH1200 is available as an HC version for hydrocarbon oil (oil included) and as a PFPE-prepared FX version (oil separate), each with IE3 motor for 380/400 V 50 Hz (Europe/China), 230/460 V 60 Hz (USA), 200 V 50 Hz and 200/380 V 60 Hz (Asia). The market details come from the Edwards webshop. The standard pumps are not azide-compatible, because cooling coils made of copper that come into contact with the process are fitted.
