Overview

A refrigerated cold trap designed to work around you. The FTS Refrigerated Cold Trap is a stainless-steel Dewar with mechanically refrigerated walls that allow efficient vapor trapping without the need for expendable refrigerants. Not only does the vapor trap cut costs through its mechanical refrigeration, but it also protects your vacuum pumps by preventing harmful vapors from getting into the pump and causing failure.

The perfect device for a multitude of applications, the system will trap all condensable vapors with freezing points higher than the operating temperature of the vapor trap in a highly efficient and energy-saving manner.

The FTS Refrigerated Cold Traps can be utilized in vapor streams with vacuum pumps up to 250 liters/minute or 9 standard cubic feet/minute. Particularly suitable for any application where oil-sealed vacuum pumps need protection from potentially harmful condensable vapors.
