Abstract
The invention provides an apparatus for compressing a first fluid. The apparatus comprises a compressor piston comprising a piston cylinder and a piston assembly slidably mounted therein. The piston assembly comprises first and second spaced apart piston members defining a space therebetween. The space is configured to contain a second fluid used to cause compression of the first fluid. The piston assembly further comprises means for feeding second fluid to the space between the first and second piston members.

An apparatus for compressing a first fluid, the apparatus comprising a compressor piston comprising a piston cylinder and a piston assembly slidably mounted therein, wherein the piston assembly comprises first and second spaced apart piston members defining a space therebetween, which space is configured to contain a second fluid used to cause compression of the first fluid, and means for feeding second fluid to the space between the first and second piston members.
A method of compressing a first fluid, the method comprising:
- feeding a first fluid into a compressor piston comprising a piston cylinder and a piston assembly slidably mounted therein, wherein the piston assembly comprises first and second spaced apart piston members defining a space therebetween, which space is configured to contain a second fluid used to cause compression of the first fluid;
- and
- feeding a second fluid to the space between the first and second piston members, and compressing the first fluid.
