Abstract
The present invention relates to a filter unit () for a compressor, comprising a housing () with an inlet () and an outlet () for gas to be compressed, a particle pre-filter () arranged downstream of the inlet () in the flow direction of the gas to be compressed, an ultraviolet irradiation unit () which is configured to emit ultraviolet light and is arranged downstream of the particle pre-filter () in the flow direction of the gas to be compressed, and a ballast () which is configured and arranged to control the ultraviolet irradiation unit (). The filter unit () is designed in such a way that the gas to be compressed which is fed in at the inlet () first passes through the particle pre-filter (), is then irradiated by the ultraviolet irradiation unit () and can finally be fed to the compressor through the outlet (). The invention also relates to a compressor comprising such a filter unit () and to a method for compressing breathing air using such a compressor.
