Inlet-stage for a double-flow gas friction pump

摘要

The pump has in the area of the suction opening (2) a gas- conveyor (15) connected to the rotor shaft (10). The structure of the conveyor is such that the gas to be conveyed is supplied direct from the intake opening to the stator and rotor element. The gas-conveyor can be a cylindrical rotor wheel whose structure is determined by the arrangement of the blades. The conveyor widens out axially in both directions so that it encloses at least in part the stator and rotor elements. The pump can be formed as a turbo molecular pump.
