Compressor system having integrated ambient sensor

Abstract

The invention relates to a compressor system, in particular a screw compressor, for compressing gases, preferably air, comprising a compressor block (11) in which a compressor chamber (12) is formed in which the gas is compressed via mechanical compression means (13), wherein the compressor chamber (12) has an inlet opening (14) on the inflow side and an outlet opening (15) on the outflow side, and a control device (16) for controlling a drive (17) of the compression means (13), wherein the control device (16) is operatively connected to a temperature sensor (19) and/or a humidity sensor (20) in order to determine state conditions of the gas entering at the inlet opening (14), characterized in that the temperature sensor (19) and/or the humidity sensor (20) are arranged at or in the control device (16) within the compressor system for detecting a temperature Tc prevailing there or a humidity Fc prevailing there, and the control device (16) comprises a processing device (23) in order to draw conclusions from the measured values Tc and/or Fc about the state conditions of the gas entering at the inlet opening (14).
