Abstract
An electrically driven pump for gases or gas mixtures having a pump housing and a motor housing. A radial pump having a pump impeller is formed in the pump housing, and the pump impeller is connected to a drive shaft which extends through a wall of the pump housing into the motor housing. At least one air gap is formed between the drive shaft and the wall of the pump housing. A pressure side is formed in the pump housing, and is arranged in the outer radial region of the pump impeller. An opening through the pump housing is formed in the region of the pressure side, and the opening connects the interior of the pump housing to the interior of the motor housing, such that the pressure prevailing on the pressure side may propagate into the interior of the motor housing.
