Brooks Polycold HC Fast Cycle Water Vapor Cryopump
About this part
PFC-1102 is a Brooks Polycold Fast Cycle water vapor cryopump model, documented as PFC-1102 HC in Brooks model history and legacy performance literature. The refrigeration unit circulates a proprietary refrigerant blend through a remote cryosurface to capture water vapor and other condensable molecules in vacuum processes. Brooks documentation identifies the 1102 configuration as HCFC-free and records production-era hardware changes; current Edwards literature retains PFC 1102 dimensional context within the Edwards Polycold PFC line. Published performance values below are the Brooks 2008 PFC-1102HC reference values and should be checked against the unit nameplate, voltage configuration, installed options, cryocoil, refrigerant line, and production date before installation or replacement use
Configurations vary. Verify the exact unit before choosing a replacement.
Fast Cycle water vapor cryopump / cryochiller with remote refrigerant line and cryosurface
Operating principle
Circulates refrigerant through a cryosurface to freeze volatile molecules and capture water vapor in vacuum processes
Legacy Published Performance
Maximum load
3,600 W at the warmest temperature under the Brooks published standard test conditions
Water-vapor pumping speed
298,000 l/s theoretical maximum; 200,000 l/s conservative in-chamber value under the Brooks published standard test conditions
Ultimate operating pressure
3.0 x 10^-8 Torr (4 x 10^-8 mbar) with the published standard cryocoil test basis
Maximum pump start pressure
1.0 atm; Brooks notes that recommended cryopump start pressure is near normal crossover
Maximum defrost time
7.0 minutes for a 2.0 m2 coil; the Brooks data sheet notes that smaller coils typically defrost faster
