Side channel compressor for compressing a gas

Abstract

A side channel compressor for compressing a gas includes a housing, in which a side channel is arranged, which can be supplied with gas via a feed channel formed within the housing for feeding gas to the side channel and a discharge channel formed within the housing for discharging gas out of the side channel, wherein in the housing an impeller drive is arranged, wherein the side channel compressor includes a drive control for regulating and/or controlling the impeller drive. The impeller drive includes an impeller which on the output side engages in the side channel of the housing in order to drivingly interact with a gas. The side channel is designed for redirecting the gas flowing through the side channel by at least 270°. The drive control includes an integrated pressure sensor for measuring a gas pressure of the gas flowing within the side channel.
