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.
