COMPRESSOR DEVICE AND A COOLER THEREBY USED

摘要

A compressor device with at least two compressor elements connected in series and at least two coolers of which there at least two split coolers that are split in separate successive stages, respectively a hot stage and a cold stage, that are connected together in one or more separate cooling circuits such that the compressed gas is cooled sufficiently between the compressor elements with a minimum coolant flow rate to keep the temperature of the cooled gas at the outlet of each cooler below a maximum permissible value and thereby to realise a desired temperature increase of the coolant in at least one of the aforementioned cooling circuits.
