Edwards
IH 1000
The Edwards iH1000 is a dry vacuum pumping system that uses an HCDP80 dry pump with an HCMB1000 mechanical booster pump, achieving a peak pumping speed of 1000 m³/h at 60 Hz. The iH1000 is part of the iH series of dry pumping systems from Edwards (formerly BOC Edwards).[1]
How it works
The iH dry pumping system uses a HCDP dry pump as the primary pumping stage. For the iH1000, this is supplemented by a HCMB mechanical booster pump to increase pumping speed at lower pressures.[1]
The system is designed with a temperature control system for both the HCDP and HCMB pumps, and includes connections for nitrogen purge and cooling water to manage process gases and thermal load. The pumping system is controlled by an electronics module and a pump display terminal.[1]
Dry pumps in this class use claw or screw mechanisms to compress gas without lubricants, making them suitable for clean vacuum environments. The iH series includes features such as gas modules, exhaust systems, and safety sensors.[1]

Frequently asked questions
What pump stages does the IH 1000 use?
The IH 1000 combines an HCDP dry pump with an HCMB mechanical booster pump. The HCMB booster is fitted on the iH600 and iH1000 systems only.[1]
What utility services does the IH 1000 require?
The IH 1000 requires a nitrogen supply, cooling-water connections, and an electrical supply. Optional accessories include an enclosure extraction fan and alternative nitrogen and cooling-water connection kits.[1]
Does the IH 1000 comply with the ATEX directive?
The iH dry pumping systems are declared compliant with the ATEX directive as Category 3GD equipment for internal atmospheres only.[1]
What maintenance does the IH 1000 require?
Maintenance includes checking and changing the oil in the HCDP pump and the HCMB pump on iH600 and iH1000 systems. Maintenance also includes checking purge-gas flow rates, inspecting and cleaning the exhaust pipe, and zeroing the gas-module flow transducer.[1]
