Side channel compressor for compressing gas

A side channel compressor for compressing gas, the side channel compressor comprising:

• a housing, which forms a side channel;
• and
• an impeller drive arranged in the housing, which comprises an impeller arranged in the side channel for driving gas through the side channel,
• wherein the housing forms a feed channel that is fluidically connected to the side channel for feeding gas to the side channel and a discharge channel that is fluidically connected to the side channel for discharging gas out of the side channel,
• wherein the feed channel branches into two separate channel arms each extending along a channel arm center axis,
• wherein the housing is subdivided along a separating plane into a first housing part and a second housing part, which, sealed, lie against one another,
• wherein the discharge channel is separated at least in sections along the separating plane into a first discharge channel part arranged integrally on the first housing part and a second discharge channel part arranged integrally on the second housing part,
• wherein either the first discharge channel part, forming a gas outlet opening arranged completely apart from the separating plane, opens out on a connecting surface of the first housing part for conducting gas, or
• the second discharge channel part, forming a gas outlet opening arranged completely apart from the separating plane, opens out on a connecting surface of the second housing part for conducting gas.
