Abstract (en)

Compressor with at least one compressor stage and a moisture separator, whereby the compressor stage comprises a housing (1) which is provided with an inlet (16-17-18) for gas to be compressed, and an outlet (21), and comprises at least two cooperating compressor elements (2 and 3) mounted in this housing (1), at least one of which is rotatable, characterized in that the inlet (16-17-18) is almost closed off from the compressor stage by a rapidly rotating body (19) made of material having a sufficiently low flow resistance for the gas to be compressed in order to let this gas pass, but which keeps back moisture particles and other particles and whirls them radially away, which body (19) is integrated in the housing (1). <IMAGE>
