Claim:
1. A compressor for an air supply unit of a vehicle, the compressor comprising: a manifold; a cover; a gasket between the manifold and the cover; an inlet; and an outlet; the manifold and the cover being fixedly stacked in vertical orientation and defining a fluid channel system therebetween; the gasket extending laterally, substantially perpendicularly to vertical; the fluid channel system comprising an inlet air passage extending from the inlet to a cylinder inlet, a discharge air passage extending from a cylinder outlet to the outlet for discharging compressed air to the outlet, and at least one coolant channel feedable with a coolant to cool at least the discharge air passage; the inlet air passage, the discharge air passage, and the at least one coolant channel extending laterally, the discharge air passage being defined by wall faces including at least one wall face of a wall separating the discharge air passage from the at least one coolant channel; the wall faces comprising turbulator fins protruding into the discharge air passage, the turbulator fins being configured to create turbulence in discharged compressed air; and a cylinder bore formed in the manifold and the cover and connected to the cylinder inlet and the cylinder outlet, the cylinder bore being configured to accommodate a piston to form a cylinder-piston unit for compressing air delivered from the inlet to the cylinder inlet and for delivering compressed air to the cylinder outlet.
