Abstract
The invention relates to a method for generating over-pressure gas by means of a kinetic compressor which is coupled to a high-speed electric machine located on the same shaft with the compressor and comprising a rotor whose rotational speed is over 20,000 rpm. The compressor is provided with at least two stages. The shaft of the rotor is mounted on a magnetic and/or gas bearings, and the high-speed electric machine is placed centrally on the shaft with respect to the compressor stage of the compressor. The rotor is mounted on a magnetic bearing at least in the axial direction, and the ends of the rotor are used at least partly as counter surfaces for the axial magnetic bearing.
