  • one of the pressure chambers can be pumped out via the main inlet and each further pressure chamber via an intermediate inlet.
  • Such vacuum pumps are also referred to as split-flow pumps.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object to provide an improved vacuum pump, wherein the flow of gas counter to the pumping direction is minimized.
  • the pumping mechanism is designed such that a first pump-effective section of the pump mechanism, which is provided upstream with respect to a second pump-effective section of the pumping mechanism, has a higher compressibility than the second pump-effective section , and / or in that the pumping mechanism is designed such that the second pump-effective section has a higher pumping speed than the first pump-effective section.

  • an undesired flow of the gas entering the pumping channel through an intermediate inlet or a flood opening can be reduced in contrast to the pumping direction directed from the main inlet to the outlet, in that the inflowing gas downstream of the intermediate inlet or the flood opening by a pumping mechanism is pumped away with a high pumping speed and / or that the return flow of the gas can be suppressed or at least reduced by a high compressibility of the muzzle upstream pumping effective first section against the pumping direction.
  • the volume flow which can be conveyed per unit of time through a cross-sectional area of the pumping channel is regarded as the pumping speed.
