ABSTRACT:
A compressor unit that has a compressor component and a condensate filter that is used to precipitate water and oil condensed from a compressed gas stream. For the environmentally friendly disposal of the condensate, a filter device containing a filter material is arranged so that a warm air stream entering the filter device after passing through the condensate filter condenses the water in the filtrate stream. The condensate is soaked up in the filter device by the filter material and, with the help of the air stream, which can be the warmed outgoing air of a cooling device of the compressor component, the water contained in the condensate is evaporated, while the oil-containing components of the condensate are adsorbed in the filter material for subsequent disposal. The filter material is preferably placed in the filter device in the form of filter elements arranged preferably in several rows behind one another at predetermined distances in the direction in which air flows through. The filter element can be designed as an osmotic filter cloth which is formed as tubes or it can be made of spiral-shaped, wound sheets of such filter material. Suitably, the filter device with the filter material contained in it is designed as a replaceable, disposable device, for example in the form of a module.
