- the amount of purge gas may exceed the amount of gas that the ejector can deliver, therefore sealing gas must be shut off to evacuate the outlet.
- control device may be connected to the auxiliary vacuum pump, so that the auxiliary vacuum pump can be switched off and on. This also takes place as a function of a control variable.
- control variables used when switching off and on the barrier gas supply device or the auxiliary vacuum pump may be different or even the same control variable.
- the preferred control variables described below are in a preferred embodiment both for controlling the auxiliary vacuum pump and for controlling the Sperrgaszu- used, wherein any combinations of the individual control variables are possible, so that, for example, the control of the locking gas supply means using a different control variable than the control of the auxiliary vacuum pump.
- the auxiliary vacuum pump such as the ejector pump
- the auxiliary vacuum pump is switched on, preferably only when the main pumping mode is completed and the vacuum pumping system goes into standby mode (end pressure mode).
- a shutdown of the sealing gas supply in standby mode is carried out in a particularly preferred embodiment.
- the connection of the auxiliary vacuum pump and / or the Sperrgaszulite accordingly preferably takes place in response to a control variable, which is defined that the system is now in standby mode, or is just before or shortly after the standby mode.
- a pressure value in the chamber to be evacuated and / or at the inlet of the main vacuum pump and / or at the outlet of the main vacuum pump can be determined as the control variable.
- the auxiliary vacuum pump is switched on.
- the limit values may differ with respect to the chamber, the pump inlet or the pump outlet. These values can also be combined with one another, so that the auxiliary vacuum pump is switched on, for example, only if two limit values are undershot at the same time.
- a check valve is provided at the outlet of the main vacuum pump.
- This check valve is preferably connected to the control device.
- the position of the check valve can be used as a control variable.

- the current consumption of the electric motor or a signal of a frequency converter is particularly suitable.
- the auxiliary vacuum pump is switched on and / or the barrier gas supply is switched off.
- the predetermined control variable is the undershooting of a pressure value at the main vacuum pump.
- This pressure value can be determined, for example, with a pressure sensor.
- the corresponding pressure limit is preferably 1 mbar.
- the undershooting of a pressure value at the outlet of the main vacuum pump can be used.
- This pressure value can also be determined by a pressure sensor, wherein the pressure limit is preferably 1020 mbar.
- Another optionally additional control variable may be a characteristic of an electric motor which drives the main vacuum pump.
- it may be the current consumption.
- an increase in power consumption at final pressure by preferably 10% serve as a predetermined control variable.
- the control device has an electrically switchable valve or is connected thereto.

- two correspondingly switchable valves can be provided for switching on and off the auxiliary pump and for switching off and on the blocking gas supply.
- a pressure rocker can be provided.
- the pressure rocker is connected to corresponding pressure lines, so that the pressure rocker is switched as soon as one or more of the pressures defined above should fall below or exceed a predetermined limit.
- the additional pressure rocker is released and thus supplying propellant gas to the ejector. Accordingly, the propellant gas supply to the ejector can be switched off.
- a mechanical pressure rocker also switching off and on of the barrier gas supply possible.
- the power consumption can be reduced.
- the limits are chosen such that the auxiliary vacuum pump, which is in particular an ejector, is not operated during the main pumping mode.
- the energy demand of the auxiliary vacuum pump is in poor proportion to the amount of gas delivered, so that it is advantageous for reducing the energy demand of the entire system when the auxiliary vacuum pump remains switched off during the main pumping mode.
- the limit values are preferably selected such that no barrier gas is supplied in an auxiliary pump mode. This can also be done energy savings.
- the combination of shutting off the purge gas supply during the auxiliary pumping mode and shutting off the auxiliary pump during the main pumping mode results in significant energy savings.
