Abstract: A side channel compressor for compressing a gas includes a housing and at least one impeller which is arranged in the housing and configured to be driven in rotation about a central axis. In addition, the side channel compressor includes at least one seal assembly arranged in the housing and including at least one sealing device configured to seal at least one gap between the housing and the at least one impeller and be forced radially outward with respect to the central axis in order to keep the at least one gap small. The at least one seal assembly also includes at least one sealing-device-holding device configured to hold the at least one sealing device in an axially secured fashion with respect to the central axis and which includes at least one main holding body.

Abstract: The invention relates to a compressor arrangement for compressing a gas. The compressor arrangement comprises a drive unit with a driveshaft that can be driven in rotation and at least one compressor which comprises a compressor casing, at least one gas inlet opening formed in the compressor casing and at least one gas outlet opening formed in the compressor casing and fluidically connected to the at least one gas inlet opening. The compressor also has at least one impeller, which is arranged in the compressor casing, is connected in fixed rotation with the driveshaft and can be driven in rotation, for delivering the gas from the at least one gas inlet opening to the at least one gas outlet opening, and has at least one bearing device for bearing the at least one impeller, wherein the at least one bearing device is arranged on the compressor casing and on the at least one impeller.

Abstract: A lateral channel compressor with an impeller (12) which is arranged in a casing and which is supported so that it is rotatable around an axial rotational axis (4); the impeller having a plurality of impeller blades (20) which are arranged in a working area (2) which is formed by the casing, wherein the working area (2) has an undercut and the casing comprises a basic casing element (6), a cover (8) and an insert (10) in order to form the undercut.

Abstract: A compressor (1), in particular a lateral channel compressor, is cited, enabling fluid ducts (10) with varying duct ends (28, 30, 48, 52, 60) to be joined easily and flexibly. To this end, the compressor (1) comprises a connector (8) which is allocated to an inlet or outlet connecting piece (4, 4a, 4b). The connector (8) has a flange (12) for being joined to the inlet or outlet connecting piece (4, 4a, 4b) and a number of connecting ends (24, 26) for being joined to the duct end (28, 30, 48, 52, 60) of the fluid duct (10), with the connecting end (24, 26) or the connecting ends (24, 26), respectively, being designed for optional connection of varying duct ends (28, 30, 48, 52, 60).

Abstract: The compressor, in particular lateral channel compressor, comprises a casing member (2, 4) and an impeller (6) which is disposed therein rotatably about an axial axis of rotation and which is spaced from the casing member (2, 4) by a sealing gap (18). The sealing gap is sealed by means of a sealing arrangement which comprises an encircling sealing ring (20) and a spring element (34, 44, 46, 48) that forces the sealing ring (20) against a contact surface (22). The spring load that is applied by the spring element (34, 44, 46, 48) helps obtain automatic, dynamic adaptation to alternating spatial geometries during operation, for example upon temperature fluctuations, which ensures constantly good sealing effects.
