Abstract

A device for compressing a gaseous fluid from a low-pressure section into a high-pressure section. The device has a housing with a housing member, a compression mechanism arranged between the low-pressure section and the high-pressure section as well as a flow duct connecting the high-pressure section to the low-pressure section. The housing member is configured with a high-pressure-side port and an oil separator. An outlet opening of the port and an oil outlet are configured at diametrical ends of the oil separator. The oil outlet is arranged in the lowermost section of the oil separator in a direction of the effect of gravity and is hydraulically connected to an inlet of the flow duct. The housing member is configured with the inlet chamber such that the high-pressure-side port is able to be arranged with the axis within the inlet chamber irrespective of the arrangement of the oil outlet.
