Derartige vorrichtungen werden häufig eingesetzt, um ein Gas ausgehend von einem Umgebungsdruck auf ein Hochdruckniveau zu komprimieren. Die Verwendung von mehreren in Reihe geschalteten Druckstufen führt hierbei zu einer Erhöhung der Verfahrenseffektivität gegenüber von einstufigen Verdichtern. Die bekannten mehrstufigen Verdichter weisen in der Regel ein großes Bauvolumen und eine hohe Betriebslautstärke auf. Darüber hinaus ist die überwiegende Anzahl der bekannten mehrstufigen Verdichter dafür vorgesehen, ein großes Fördervolumen bei verhältnismäßig geringen Drücken zu erzeugen. Such devices are often used to make a Gas from an ambient pressure to a high pressure level to compress. The use of several in a row switched pressure levels leads to an increase the process effectiveness over single-stage compressors. The known multi-stage compressors have in usually a large volume and a high operating volume on. In addition, the vast majority are known multi-stage compressor intended large delivery volume at relatively low pressures to create.

Durch die Kopplung der Druckstufen mit Hilfe eines Ventilblocks, der zwischen den Druckstufen angeordnet ist, werden lange interne oder externe Verbindungsleitungen zwischen den Druckstufen vermieden. Hierdurch wird sowohl eine kompakte Gestaltung unterstützt als auch die Größe von Totvolumen reduziert. Die Anordnung der Längsachsen der Kolben entlang einer gemeinsamen Geraden führt zu einer einfachen Steuerbarkeit der Vorrichtung, zu einer hohen mechanischen Stabilität sowie zu einer hohen Standsicherheit.By coupling the pressure levels with the help of a valve block, which is arranged between the pressure stages long internal or external connection lines between the pressure levels avoided.

Zur Vermeidung von unerwünschten Rückströmvorgängen wird vorgeschlagen, daß die Druckstufen von einem Verbindungskanal miteinander verbunden sind, in dessen Bereich ein Rückschlagventil angeordnet ist.To avoid undesirable backflow processes suggested that the pressure levels from a connecting channel are interconnected, in the area of a check valve is arranged.

Eine zeitliche Vergleichsmäßigung des Energieaufwandes für die Durchführung der Verdichtung wird dadurch unterstützt, daß die Kolben zur Durchführung von zeitlich phasenversetzt verlaufenden Kompressionsvorgängen in den Druckstufen von einer Kolbenstange starr miteinander verbunden sind.A temporal comparison of the energy expenditure for the implementation of the compression is supported that the pistons are out of phase for performing ongoing compression processes in the pressure stages of a piston rod are rigidly connected.

Eine typische Dimensionierung besteht darin, daß die Reihenschaltung der Druckstufen für eine Verdichtung auf ein Druckniveau von etwa 200 bar ausgebildet sind.A typical dimensioning is that the series connection of the pressure levels for compression on Pressure level of about 200 bar are formed.

Darüber hinaus ist daran gedacht, daß die Druckstufen eine Durchflußmenge von etwa 1 Liter pro Minute an der ersten Druckstufe zugeführtem unkomprimierten Gas ausgebildet sind.In addition, it is thought that the pressure levels a Flow rate of about 1 liter per minute on the first Pressure stage supplied uncompressed gas is formed are.

Ein mechanischer Antrieb wird dadurch bereitgestellt, daß die Kolben mit einem Kurbelantrieb verbunden sind.A mechanical drive is provided in that the pistons are connected to a crank drive.

Eine andere Antriebsvariante besteht darin, daß die Kolben mit einem pneumatischen Antrieb verbunden sind.Another drive variant is that the pistons are connected to a pneumatic drive.

Die konstruktive Gestaltung des Verdichters macht diesen insbesondere dafür geeignet, daß die Druckstufen zur Komprimierung von Sauerstoff ausgebildet sind.The design of the compressor makes it especially suitable for the pressure stages for compression are formed by oxygen.

Eine Speicherung des vom verdichter erzeugten Volumens an komprimiertem Gas kann dadurch erfolgen, daß die Druckstufen für eine Befüllung von Druckgasflaschen ausgebildet sind.
