Significant energy savings thanks to energy efficiency controller Diffusion pump technology was developed over hundred years ago. It is still used today in many areas of research and industry to generate high and ultra-high vacuum. This is not least due to the efficient operating principle: the robust “workhorses” form hot oil vapors to transport the […]

As temperatures rise, the performance and durability of vacuum pumps can be significantly affected. Maintaining a cool environment for these devices is critical, as most are built to function effectively in ambient temperatures of up to 40°C. Overheating can lead to accelerated oil degradation, increased maintenance costs, and potential equipment failure, interrupting manufacturing and causing […]
