Abstract:
To prevent generation of drain reliably without depending on a difference in ambient temperature where a compressor is installed. Provided is a gas compressor: having a compressor main body compressing a gas, a drive source driving the compressor main body, a controller controlling the rotation speed of the drive source according to the discharge pressure of the compressor main body, and a temperature detector detecting the temperature of a discharge gas of the compressor main body; and performing no-load operation with the rotation speed of the drive source as a lower limit rotation speed when the discharge pressure reaches an upper limit pressure higher than a set pressure. When detecting that the temperature detected by the temperature detector is equal to or lower than a predetermined temperature during the no-load operation, the controller causes the lower limit rotation speed of the drive source to a lower limit rotation speed at which the temperature of the discharge gas is higher than the predetermined temperature and which is higher than a lower limit rotation speed when the detected temperature is higher than the predetermined temperature.
