Abstract

A compression apparatus in the present invention includes a compressor including a cylinder for compressing a gas, a gas cooler for cooling the gas compressed in the cylinder, and a circulation passage for guiding the gas compressed in the cylinder into the gas cooler. The gas cooler is diffusion bonded to the cylinder. In order to reduce the size of the compression apparatus, the circulation passage extends through an area in which the gas cooler and the cylinder face each other. At least areas surrounding the area are diffusion bonded.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A compression apparatus comprising:
 a compressor including a cylinder for compressing a gas;   a heat exchanger for cooling the gas compressed in the cylinder; and   a circulation passage for guiding the gas compressed in the cylinder into the heat exchanger, wherein:   the heat exchanger is solid-phase bonded to the cylinder;   the circulation passage extends through an area in which the heat exchanger and the cylinder face each other; and   the area is surrounded by a surface at which the heat exchanger and the cylinder are solid-phase bonded.   
     
     
         2 . The compression apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 the solid phase bonding is diffusion bonding.   
     
     
         3 . The compression apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 the circulation passage extends through a flat surface at which the heat exchanger and the cylinder are solid-phase bonded.   
     
     
         4 . The compression apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 the heat exchanger has a structure in which a plurality of plates are stacked in layers so that cooling flow channels through which a cooling fluid for cooling the gas flows and gas flow channels through which the gas flows are formed alternately; and   a plate of the plurality of plates disposed at the end on the cylinder side is solid-phase bonded to the cylinder.   
     
     
         5 . The compression apparatus according to  claim 4 , wherein:
 the plates adjacent to each other are solid-phase bonded.
