Degassing apparatus

Apparatus, comprising

• a pressure chamber and a micropump in fluid connection with the pressure chamber,
• wherein the pressure chamber comprises a gas-carrying region and a liquid-carrying region,
• wherein the micropump is configured to generate a pneumatic pressure within the gas-carrying region that is lower than a fluid pressure of liquid flowing through the liquid-carrying region,
• and wherein a gas-permeable and liquid-impermeable separating element separates the gas-carrying region and the liquid-carrying region from each other at least in sections,
• wherein the micropump is disposed on the pressure chamber and the liquid-carrying region is a tube conduit running within the pressure chamber, wherein the tube conduit comprises, at least in sections, a material forming the gas-permeable and liquid-impermeable separating element, and
• wherein the micropump is configured to generate a negative pressure of −30 kPa to −55 kPa with respect to atmospheric pressure in the gas-carrying region of the pressure chamber.
