Abstract: The invention relates to a device and a method for compressing a working medium, comprising: compressing a drive medium in a compressor; moving a drive piston within a first cylinder by means of the compressed drive medium; moving a high-pressure piston, which compresses the working medium, within a second cylinder by means of the drive piston; and transferring heat from the compressed working medium to the compressed drive medium before the compressed drive medium enters the first cylinder of the drive piston.

Abstract: The invention relates to a test apparatus and a method for testing a load change of a compressed-gas accumulator, said method comprising the steps of: i. arranging the compressed-gas accumulator to be tested inside a test container; ii. increasing the pressure of a compressed gas in the compressed-gas accumulator to a test pressure; iii. measuring the elastic deformation of the compressed-gas accumulator, which is caused by the test pressure of the compressed gas; iv. Increasing the pressure of a pressure medium in the test container such that the elastic deformation of the compressed-gas accumulator is reduced by the pressure of the pressure medium on the compressed-gas accumulator; v. lowering the pressure of the pressure medium in the test container; and vi. repeating steps iii. to v.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating a compressor (100), wherein an ionic liquid (a) is used as an operating liquid, and wherein two different materials (c, d) of the compressor (100) are brought in contact with the ionic liquid (b) and form an electrochemical element. In order to partially balance a voltage (U) of the electrochemical element at the compressor (110), a counter voltage (UG) is applied. The invention further relates to such a compressor (100).
