Abstract (en)

Compressor with at least one compressor stage and a moisture separator, whereby the compressor stage contains a housing (1) provided with an inlet (16-17-18) for gas to be compressed and an outlet (21) and at least two cooperating compressor elements (2 and 3) mounted in this housing (1) of which at least one is a rotating element, characterized in that the inlet (16-17-18) of the compressor stage is practically sealed by a fast rotating body (19) made of cellular material with open cells which has a sufficiently low flow resistance for the gas to be compressed in order to let the gas through, but which retains moisture particles and other particles and flings them away radially, which body (19) is incorporated in the housing (1). <IMAGE>
