9600 Compressor Installation, Operation, and Maintenance
Section 1 - 9600 Compressor Description
General
This manual provides the information required to install, operate, and
maintain the CTI-CRYOGENICS 9600 Compressor.
NOTE: All personnel with installation, operation, and maintenance
responsibilities should become familiar with the contents of both the 9600
Compressor Installation, Operation, Maintenance, and appropriate
cryopump manuals to ensure safe, high quality, and reliable system
performance.
Benefits
The 9600 Compressor is a universal compressor that accepts
three-phase 50Hz or 60 Hz power input and provides two-phase or threephase 60Hz power output to On-Board or Cryo-Torr Cryopumps.

HELIX TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION

ICS
The 9600 Compressor design eliminates the use of three-phase motor
controllers and/or frequency converters and significantly reduces the
amount of equipment required and cost associated with the Cryopump
power circuit.
Refer to Appendix A to contact the local Customer Support Center for
information on connecting 9600 Compressors to a manifold with other
CTI-CRYOGENICS compressors.
Compressor Configurations
The 9600 Compressor supports either On-Board or Cryo-Torr Cryopumps.
For multiple cryopump installations, an On-Board Splitter Box or CryoTorr Interface can be used for cold head power distribution that reduces
total cable requirements as shown in Figure 1-5 and 1-6.

9600 Compressor Description
System Documentation
The manuals for a system cover two basic components: the cryopump and
the Compressor. A manual is shipped with each system component to
provide information for installation and operation of that component.
A loose-leaf binder with index tab separators is also provided so you can
compile a complete set of tabulated manuals.
CTI-CRYOGENICS Helium Refrigeration System
The operation of CTI-CRYOGENICS’ cryopumps is based upon a closed
loop helium expansion cycle. The system is made up of two major
components: the cryopump, which contains the cold head, and the helium
Compressor which compresses the helium gas.
Refrigeration is produced in the cryopump cold head through periodic
expansion of high pressure helium in a regenerative process. The high
pressure helium is provided by the Compressor. Low pressure helium
returning from the cold head is compressed into the necessary high
pressure to be returned to the cold head. The energy required to compress
the helium is rejected as heat through the cooling water.
-
TI CRYOG
C
HELIX TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION
EN
ICS
High pressure room temperature helium is transferred to the cold head
through the supply lines. After expansion, low pressure helium is returned
to the Compressor (at or near room temperature) to repeat the cycle in a
closed loop fashion. Large separation distances can be accommodated
between the Compressor and the cryopump.
In the Compressor, helium is compressed using a highly reliable oil
lubricated commercial Compressor. Helium purification takes place via
several stages of oil removal. The final stage of purification is performed
with a replaceable adsorber cartridge. In order to maintain peak efficiency,
the adsorber must be replaced every three years. The 9600 Compressor is
shown in Figure 1-1.
