The Liquid-Cooled All-Metal (LCAM) Tritium Scroll Vacuum Pump is the result of Phase I Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) funding through the US Department of Energy under the topic Advanced Technologies and Materials for Fusion Energy Systems.

The all-metal scroll design has no tip seals between scroll involutes. Alternatively, involute tips are precision machined using state-of-the-art processes at Air Squared. Liquid cooling is incorporated to allow for tighter running clearances that reduce leakage and improve efficiency.

The LCAM Tritium Scroll Vacuum Pump is semi-hermetically sealed, 100% oil-free, and has only metallic wetted surfaces – ideal for handling tritium and other radioactive, toxic, or corrosive gases.
