vacuum pump
Definição1
An air pump used to remove air from container. There are two types of vacuum pumps: those that produce a very low absolute pressure (a high vacuum) with almost no flow of air, and those that produce less vacuum (a higher absolute pressure) but move a much larger volume of air.

Contexto
Pneumatic air from vacuum pumps is used in the older airfoil de-icing systems. Examine the condition of de-icing boots, their supply lines and the position of their control valves. Examine the vacuum pump drive coupling and the fusible plug for integrity and the pump itself for evidence of operation at the time of the accident.
