The compressor comprises two compression spaces ( 1, 5 ) separate from one another, one of which serves to generate the continuous pressure medium flow for the generation of a basic aerosol flow, whereas the other is used to generate the pressure variations. The shared compression means ( 4 ), for example a piston, is moved in a pendulum motion by a drive ( 7 ) so that a gas is conveyed through the first compression space and pressure variations are imposed upon a gas volume via the second compression space. The drive is disposed in a compression space, use advantageously being made of the space volume available that may if necessary be made use of by the compressor. In a preferred embodiment the drive ( 7 ) is located in the compression space ( 5 ) that is used to generate the pressure variations. |
