Modular pump platform

A modular scroll pump platform, comprising:

• a pump head module comprising a pump head having a stationary portion and a rotary portion connected to a crank shaft, wherein the stationary portion of the pump head comprises a stationary plate scroll fixed in the pump head, and the rotary portion of the pump head comprises an orbiting plate scroll interfacing with the stationary plate scroll to pump air through the pump head;
• a pump motor module comprising a pump motor having a rotary output with a removable coupling removably coupled to the crank shaft of the pump head, the pump motor module being one of a plurality of different pump motor modules having different respective pump motors, the different pump motor modules configured to be detachably connected to the crank shaft of the pump head module;
• a same type of connector for interconnecting the respective different pump motor modules to the crank shaft of the pump head module;
• an inlet valve module comprising an isolation inlet valve detachably connectable to an air inlet of the pump head module, the isolation inlet valve comprising at least one of an air operated inlet valve or a fully sealed inlet valve;
• a fan configured to be driven independently of the pump motor;
• an electronics module comprising an electronic control circuit configured to control operation of the pump motor, the electronic control circuit being one of a plurality of types of electronic control circuits corresponding to the plurality of different pump motors;
• a sound-muffling enclosure comprising a separable cowling and a separable tray to which each of the pump head module, the pump motor module and the electronics module corresponding to the pump motor module is detachably connected, the sound-muffling enclosure being configured to house the pump head module, the pump motor module and the electronics module, wherein the cowling is separable from the tray;
• and
• a vibration isolation system comprising a set of elastic vibration isolators having top ends and bottom ends, respectively, wherein the top ends of the vibration isolators are detachably connectable to one of the pump head module or the pump motor module, and the bottom ends of the vibration isolators are detachably connectable to the separable tray, and wherein the vibration isolation system isolates the sound-muffling enclosure from vibrations transmitted from at least one of the pump head module or the pump motor module, and
• wherein, by use of the same type of connector, the pump motor module is interchangeable with the different pump motor modules.
