Abstract

A compressor for the compressing of gaseous medium with at least one compressor cylinder which is connected with an inlet duct and with an outlet duct for the medium, an operating fluid, in particular an ionic operating fluid, being arranged in the compressor cylinder, which fluid is connected with a displacement machine, the displacement machine being constructed as a piston machine with at least one cylinder chamber and each cylinder chamber being connected with a compressor cylinder. To solve the problem of providing a compressor which guarantees a reliable operation with low structural expenditure, it is proposed that a separation device for the operating fluid is associated with the outlet duct of the compressor, the separation device being connected with the inlet duct of the compressor for the return of the operating fluid.
