Abstract
A multistage vacuum pump assembly comprising plural independent pumping stages connected in series is disclosed. A first pumping stage located at one end of the series is connected to a room to be evacuated, and a final pumping stage located at the other end of the series is connected to the atmosphere. At least the first pumping stage comprises plural pumps connected mutually in parallel, so that the plural pumps together can achieve the vacuum capacity expected without being driven to an excessive rate of rotation.
