Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a vacuum pump comprising a housing and a cooling element.
  • the corrugated surface is provided by grooves which are arranged perpendicular to the direction of flow through the void.
  • the corrugated surface might be provided by ribs arranged perpendicular to the direction of flow.
  • the corrugated surface can be built as grooves or ribs. If two corrugated surfaces are present, the two surfaces can be built both with grooves or both with ribs or one corrugated surface can be built as ribs and one corrugated surface can be built as grooves.
