CRAWLEY, England - Monday, January 20th 2014 [ME NewsWire]

(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Edwards Group Limited (NASDAQ: EVAC), a leading manufacturer of sophisticated vacuum products and abatement systems and a global provider of related value-added services, has launched a special variant to its nXDS range of dry scroll vacuum pumps which is ideally suited for pumping rare or critical gases.

nXDS dry scroll pumps are free of lubrication in the entire pumped path of the gas. The special variant nXDS-R is optimised for situations where an application demands the pumping or recirculation of rare or critical gases without the risk of accidental introduction of atmospheric air. For example, as helium becomes a scarcer and increasingly expensive resource, there is more desire to recover and re-use this rare gas. By removing the gas ballast feature, which is significant for applications where condensable vapour removal is important, this creates a hermetically sealed pump from inlet to out ... Read more »
