Abstract
A two-stage positive displacement pump (1) is used in particular to operate in conjunction with a turbomolecular pump (2) that can be placed ahead of it in series. The two-stage positive displacement pump (1) is configured as a hybrid pump (3) that has on the medium-entry side a reciprocating pump (5) with a comparatively large displacement area (6), whereby its piston-cylinder space (7) is sealed off with respect to the crank area (8) by means of a sealing membrane (9). Also as a part of this two-stage positive displacement pump (1) which forms the hybrid pump (3), there is placed in series behind the reciprocating pump (5) a diaphragm pump (10), whose displacement area (11) is noticeably smaller compared to that of the reciprocating pump (5).
Claims8
A two-stage positive displacement pump, said two-stage pump (1) being configured as a hybrid pump (3) comprising a reciprocating pump (5) and a diagram pump (10), said reciprocating pump being located on a side of the hybrid pump where pumping medium enters the hybrid pump, said reciprocating pump (5) having a comparatively large displacement volume (6) and a piston-cylinder space (7) which is sealed off with respect to a crank area (8) by means of a sealing membrane (9), and said diaphragm pump (10) being connected in series behind the reciprocating pump (5), said diaphragm pump having a displacement volume (11) which is appreciably smaller than that of the reciprocating pump (5).
