Abstract
A turbomachine arrangement includes a housing, a turbo-expander formed with an expander rotor, a turbo-compressor formed with a first compressor rotor, and a shaft that is rotatably mounted on the housing. The shaft connects the expander rotor to the compressor rotor. The first turbo-compressor can be driven exclusively by the turbo-expander. A second turbo-compressor having a second compressor rotor is disposed on the housing such that the second compressor rotor is connected to the first turbo-compressor in parallel or in series. The second compressor rotor is driven via a transmission accommodated in the housing and via a drive shaft connecting the transmission to the second compressor rotor.

A turbomachine arrangement, comprising:
- a housing,
- a turbo-expander comprising an expander rotor, a first turbo-compressor with a first compressor rotor, and a shaft that is rotatably mounted on the housing and that connects the expander rotor to the compressor rotor, wherein the first turbo-compressor is driven exclusively by the turbo-expander;
- and
- a second turbo-compressor disposed on the housing and including a second compressor rotor, wherein the second compressor rotor is connected to the first turbo-compressor in parallel or in series, is driven via a transmission accommodated in the housing and is connected to the transmission via a drive shaft connecting the transmission to the second compressor rotor.
