USA: Ritchie Engineering has announced the availability of its latest Yellow Jacket Bullet DC high torque, high efficiency vacuum pump.

Based on a brushless DC motor, this next generation vacuum pump is said to provide key advantages over existing AC technology pumps. 

Able to function in extreme low voltage conditions and field rated to 25 microns, the Bullet DC is built to be lightweight and easy to carry. Available in 7ft3/min it is said to be able to handle most residential and commercial applications. 

Pulling down to less than 25 microns, Bullet DC protects the system from contaminants and non-condensable gases. 

It is designed for use with A2L systems, and also features an elongated oil sight glass, making it easier to see oil level and condition.
