Abstract: Device for expanding a fluid, wherein the device (1) is provided with an expander element (2) for expanding the fluid, a generator (3) and a transmission (4) between the two, characterized in that the generator (3) is a liquid-cooled generator and the expander element (2) is heated using liquid, wherein the device (1) is further provided with a common liquid circuit (8) for the generator (3) and the expander element (2), wherein the liquid circuit (8) comprises a liquid pump (10) which can pump up liquid from a liquid reservoir (11), wherein the liquid circuit (8) also comprises a liquid line (9) which runs from the liquid reservoir (11) and which incorporates the liquid pump (10), the generator (3) and the expander element (2).

Abstract: Compressor system provided with a compressor device with at least one compressor element with an outlet for compressed gas, an outlet line connected to this compressor device for the compressed gas, and a dryer connected to said outlet line of the type using a drying agent or desiccant for drying the compressed gas from the compressor system. The dryer is provided with a drying section and a regeneration section with an inlet and an outlet for a regeneration gas. A regeneration line is connected to the inlet of the regeneration section. The regeneration line includes a first heat exchanger for heating the regeneration gas. A secondary section of said first heat exchanger forms a condenser of a heat pump. An evaporator of the heat pump is provided in the compressor system.
