An aggregate wherein a hollow support carries a multi-stage compressor and one or two heat exchangers. The outlet of the first stage of the compressor communicates with a first chamber of the support by way of a first passage, the first chamber communicates with the inlet of the second stage of the compressor, the outlet of the second stage communicates with the inlet of the next-following stage by way of a second passage and a second chamber in the support, and the outlet of the next-following stage communicates with an outlet opening of the support. Such outlet opening can admit compressed fluid medium to an aftercooler. Each heat exchanger is connected between the outlet of one of the first and second stages and the respective passage, and the next-following stage of the compressor is disposed between the first and second stages. The outlets of the stages are directly connected with channels which are machined into the support and diverge in the direction of flow of fluid medium therethrough.
In an aggregate wherein a compressor for a fluid medium includes a series of successive stages and is connected with at least one heat exchanger means, wherein a next-following stage of said series, as considered in the direction of flow of fluid medium through the compressor, is disposed between first and second preceding stages and therein each stage of the compressor and each heat exchanger means has an inlet and an outlet, a hollow support for said compressor and said heat exchanger means, said support including a partition and having first and second chambers disposed at the opposite sides of said partition and respectively interposed between the outlets of said first and second stages and the inlets of said second and next-following stages, said support further having first and second passages respectively interposed between the outlets of said first and second stages and said first and second chambers, said one heat exchanger means being connected between the outlet of one of said first and second stages and the respective passage.
