Abstract

Fluid-ring compressor unit having a horizontal shaft and a compressor housing in which, subsequent to the compressor stage, a pressure chamber is made in connection with a pressure connecting piece. The pressure chamber is divided up by a wall, which projects upward at least up to the level of the pressure opening of the compressor stage, into a first area and a second area which are connected to one another above the wall while forming a route for the delivered medium, the second area of which is connected to the pressure connecting piece. The necessity of a separate fluid separator is avoided according to the invention by the pressure chamber being designed as a fluid separator. For this purpose, the route for the delivered medium, in the upper area of the pressure chamber, is equipped with a plurality of deflection portions and/or baffle surfaces which also block off the pressure connecting piece arranged at the top from the pressure opening. The second area of the pressure chamber is designed as a collecting chamber for the separated fluid and has a fluid overflow at a mean level and an essentially deeper-lying connection of small cross-sesction to the first area, which connection, when the compressor is stopped, enables the level to be balanced.
