Abstract

A compressor and method for compressing a working medium, including moving a drive piston which is driven by way of a driving medium within a first cylinder between a first end position and a second end position; moving a high pressure piston which compresses the working medium within a second cylinder between a first end position and a second end position; arranging a high pressure seal for sealing the high pressure piston; arranging a magazine having a receptacle for the high pressure seal and at least one replacement high pressure seal in a first operating position, in which the high pressure piston is sealed by way of the high pressure seal; and transferring the magazine from the first operating position to a second operating position, in which the high pressure piston is sealed by way of the replacement high pressure seal.
