This solution represents an important milestone in Pfeiffer Vacuum’s recent extension of its leak detection product portfolio. The flexible setup and the utilization of a wide range of vacuum components enables coverage of several leak testing methods, including the integral vacuum test and the accumulation method. The module – designed to demonstrate the company’s expertise in the field of leak detection at trade shows – celebrated its debut at this year’s Hydrogen & Fuel Cells exhibition in Hanover, Germany.
Developed and manufactured by our colleagues at Pfeiffer Vacuum’s Innovation Hub in Großröhrsdorf, Germany, the exhibit consists of a chamber, backing pumps, a turbopump, gauges and valves, all from Pfeiffer Vacuum. With an impressive height of 1.60 meters, it easily attracts visitors at trade shows.
The module replaces a former exhibit used to showcase leak detection at exhibitions and will be presented at upcoming trade shows where leak detection is a relevant topic. Additionally, it can be offered to customers as a versatile leak testing solution, enabling leak testing with tracer gases for pre-series production, prototype, or in-line testing in various applications. Examples of applications for the module include leak testing of electrolyzer components in various types and sizes, pacemakers and components used in the medical industry. It is also applied for testing connectors from the automotive sector. The selection of components used, such as vacuum pumps, leak detectors or gauges, can be flexibly adapted to meet the specific production requirements of each customer. This allows Pfeiffer Vacuum to provide a tailored solution that addresses the individual demands of customers and their products requiring leak testing.
When the module is not at a trade show, it will be available to the leak detection experts in the application lab in Asslar, Germany. There, it will be used for conducting feasibility studies for customers, further refining solutions to meet their specific needs.
