<strong>NEG</strong> pumps: ma<strong>in</strong> (practical) features<br />

• High pump<strong>in</strong>g speed for active gases (especially for hydrogen)<br />

• High capacity (= long life: Front-Ends@Elettra > 12 years)<br />

• Compact size (easy to add <strong>in</strong> an exist<strong>in</strong>g vacuum system)<br />

• Light weight<br />

• Very clean (<strong>NEG</strong> powder ?)<br />

• Vibration-free<br />

• Operation without power consumption (after activation !)<br />

• Operation <strong>in</strong> the presence <strong>of</strong> high magnetic fields<br />

• Reversible pump<strong>in</strong>g <strong>of</strong> hydrogen<br />

• Relatively Expensive (<strong>in</strong>itial cost)<br />
