Abstract

A compressor and a method for conveying and compressing a fluid into a target system. The compressor has a first drive part having a first drive piston, a second drive part having a second drive piston and at least a first high-pressure part having a high-pressure piston. The first drive piston and the second drive piston are each able to be subjected to a drive fluid piston on alternate sides controlled via a first control unit. The first drive, the second drive piston and the high-pressure piston are jointly movable axially coupled via a piston rod arrangement. The second drive part is assigned a second control unit, which is arranged after the first control unit and via which the subjecting of the second drive piston to drive fluid is able to be activated.
