COMPRESSION APPARATUS AND FILLING STATION COMPRISING SUCH AN APPARATUS
The invention relates to a fluid compression apparatus having a plurality of compression stages, comprising a first compression chamber, a second compression chamber, an intake system communicating with the first compression chamber which is configured to allow fluid to be compressed into said first compression chamber, a transfer system configured to allow in an open position the transfer of fluid from the first compression chamber to the second compression chamber, a mobile piston for ensuring the compression of the fluid in the first and second compression chambers. The apparatus further comprises a discharge port which communicates with the second compression chamber and is configured to allow the exit of compressed fluid, the piston being translationally mobile in a longitudinal direction, wherein the first compression chamber is defined by a fixed lower cavity, a lower end of the piston and a first sealing system formed between the piston and a wall of the cavity, wherein the second compression chamber is defined by a fixed upper cavity, an upper end of the piston and a second sealing system formed between the piston and a wall of the upper cavity. The invention is characterized in that, in the operating configuration of the apparatus, the longitudinal direction of translation of the mobile piston is vertical, the intake system being located at a lower end of the apparatus and the discharge port being located in an upper part of the apparatus above the transfer system.
COMPRESSION APPARATUS AND FILLING STATION COMPRISING SUCH AN APPARATUS
The invention relates to a fluid compression apparatus comprising a housing having a compression chamber, an intake system communicating with the compression chamber which is configured to allow fluid to be compressed into said compression chamber, and a mobile piston for ensuring the compression of the fluid in the compression chamber. The apparatus further comprises a discharge port which is configured to allow the exit of compressed fluid from the compression chamber, the compression chamber being defined by a portion of the body of the piston and a fixed wall of the apparatus, the piston being translationally mobile along a longitudinal direction.
