Abstract
A gas compression system includes a flow of compressed gas, a separator positioned to receive the flow of compressed gas and discharge a second flow of compressed gas and a flow of condensate, and a flow of compressed refrigerant. A heat exchanger is positioned to receive the flow of condensate and the flow of compressed refrigerant. The heat exchanger is arranged such that the flow of condensate cools the flow of refrigerant.
