Abstract:
A compressor installation provided with one or more compressor elements and a heat recovery circuit in the form of a closed Rankine circuit in which a working medium circulates through one or more evaporators that act as a cooler for the compressed gas, and a condenser connected to a cooling circuit for cooling the working medium in the condenser, whereby an additional cooler is provided for each evaporator that is connected in series to an evaporator concerned, and which is calculated to be able to guarantee sufficient cooling by itself when the heat recovery circuit is switched off.
