A COMPRESSOR ASSEMBLY A compressor assembly for generating compressed gas, especially compressed air, comprises an internal combustion engine, a compressor and at least one exhaust gas turbo charger. The compressor is interposed between a suction conduit and a pressure conduit and is driven by the internal combustion engine by substantially the entire mechanical energy output thereof. The or each exhaust gas turbo charger includes a drive portion and a compressor portion, the drive portion being connected to an exhaust gas pipe of the internal combustion engine. The compressor portion of the exhaust gas turbo charger is arranged in one of the said conduits of the compressor. This arrangement improves the overall efficiency of the compressor assembly, i.e. the ratio between the drive energy required and the quantity of gas compressed at a predetermined pressure ratio.
