    摘要: A compressor provided with a compressor element with a driven shaft, a motor with a drive shaft to drive the compressor element, and a transmission between the drive shaft and the driven shaft. The transmission includes a housing and at least a driven gearwheel that is mounted on the driven shaft and a drive gearwheel that is mounted on a drive shaft. The housing includes two separated chambers, a first chamber that is connected to the driven shaft and a second chamber which is separate from the first chamber. The first chamber is connected via a channel with the second chamber, whereby around the drive gearwheel or driven gearwheel, the second chamber is formed. The form of the second chamber is such that when the gearwheel in question rotates, a gas flow is created around this gearwheel which causes a negative pressure in the channel by the venturi effect.
