ABSTRACT:
A leak detector for detecting the presence of a leak in a vacuum vessel exposed on its exterior to a test gas, comprising, a turbo vacuum pump having an inlet connected to a gas sensor for sensing the presence of a test gas and an outlet, a forepump connected to the outlet for receiving gas from the outlet and an intermediate inlet in the turbo vacuum pump connected to the test vessel. When test gas is supplied to the intermediate inlet from the test vessel, indicative of a leak, the test gas flows in counter-current flow to the operating direction of the turbo vacuum pump, to the gas detector, where the test gas is detected.
