Leybold Supports EuroTube's Hyperloop Project with Vacuum Technology for 1,000 Kmph Speed
FLOW CONTROL
Leybold collaborates with EuroTube, a research center founded by ETH Zurich students, to develop vacuum technology for Hyperloop, enabling speeds of 1,000 km/h. The partnership has evolved since 2017, leading to the construction of the 'DemoTube' test facility in Zurich by July 2024, utilizing Leybold's RUVAC and DRYVAC vacuum pumps. Key factors include pump-down time and leak rate for operational efficiency, with major players like Virgin Hyperloop One and HTT ordering systems from Leybold.
