Abstract (en)

A vacuum pump apparatus of a unitary construction type has a plurality of pump stages of different types arranged in a housing (4) and between suction (2) and discharge ports (3) therein. The apparatus further has a gas passage (17) for introducing a gas having a molecular weight higher than that of the gas sucked through the suction port (2) into a pump stage spaced downstream from the suction port (2) by more than one pump stage. The compression ratio across the pump stage into which the gas of the higher molecular weight is introduced is increased to enable the pump of an upstream stage to operate with a required discharge pressure, whereby a high level of vacuum can be established at the suction port (2) of the vacuum pump apparatus.
