Abstract: A pump system includes a turbomolecular vacuum pump that has a housing having at least one pump inlet and one pump outlet; a first pump mechanism, driven by a rotor shaft, in the housing; and a second pump mechanism, downstream of the first pump mechanism and driven by the rotor shaft, in the housing. The second pump mechanism operates according to a different pumping principle than the first pump mechanism. For jointly conveying a process gas from the inlet to the outlet, the first and second pump mechanisms are arranged along the rotor shaft and are disposed in the axial direction between the inlet and the outlet. To cool the housing, the pump system also includes at least one electrically operated cooling device disposed in the axial direction with respect to the second pump mechanism on the side of the second pump mechanism that faces the first pump mechanism.

Abstract: The invention relates to a vacuum system, comprising a vacuum pump, preferably turbomolecular pump, and at least one vacuum chamber, wherein the vacuum pump comprises: at least a first and a second inlet and a common outlet; at least a first and a second pumping stage, each pumping stage comprising at least one rotor element being arranged on a common rotor shaft, wherein the first inlet is connected to an upstream end of the first pumping stage and the second inlet is connected to an upstream end of the second pumping stage; a direction element for preventing a gas flow from a downstream end of the first pumping stage to the second inlet; a conduit having a conduit inlet and a conduit outlet, wherein the conduit inlet is connected to the downstream end of the first pumping stage and the conduit outlet is connected to a location downstream of the second pumping stage; wherein the first inlet and the second inlet of the pump are connected to the same vacuum chamber.
