A miniature mechanical vacuum pump capable of producing intermediate vacuums on the order of about 10-1 to 10-2 Torr is provided by a peristaltic pump. In order to dissipate heat in the pump tubing, a cooling fan provides direct a continuously flow of air onto the pump tubing and pump parts contacting the tubing. The pump produces pressures in the range of about 10-1 to 10-2 Torr while consuming only about 17 Watts. |
