A compressor unit comprises a centrifugal compressor ( 1) for compressing a gas, having a rotor (2) with one or more compressor impellers (3), and an electric motor (4) having a stator (5) and a rotor (6), for driving the rotor ( 2) of the compressor. The compressor and the electric motor are accommodated in a common gas-tight housing (7) which is provided with a gas inlet (8) and a gas outlet (9). The rotor of the compressor and the rotor of the electric motor are arranged on a common rotor shaft (10) which is mounted in magnetic bearings (11, 12, 15). The rotor shaft (10) comprises a single unit and is mounted in two radial magnetic bearings (11, 12), each in the vicinity of one end of the common rotor shaft, and one axial magnetic bearing (15), which is arranged in the vicinity of one (11) of the radial bearings.

What is claimed is: 1. A compressor unit, comprising a centrifugal compressor for compressing a gas, having a rotor with one or more compressor impellers, and an electric motor having a stator and a rotor for driving the rotor of the compressor, the compressor and the electric motor being accommodated in a common gas-tight housing which is provided with a gas inlet and a gas outlet, and the rotor of the compressor and the rotor of the electric motor being arranged on a common rotor shaft which is mounted in magnetic bearings, the rotor shaft comprising a single unit and the rotor shaft being mounted in two magnetic radial bearings, each in the vicinity of one end of the common rotor shaft, and one axial magnetic bearing which is arranged in the vicinity of the one of the radial bearings in the vicinity of one end of the common rotor shaft. 2. The compressor unit of claim 1, in which the rotor shaft is arranged vertically. 3. The compressor unit of claim 1, in which the compressor impeller or impellers are an integral part of the rotor shaft. 4. The compressor unit of claim 1, provided with a cooling system for cooling the magnetic bearings and the electric motor. 5. The compressor unit of claim 4, provided with lines which run from the compressor to the magnetic bearings for the purpose of conveying gas from the compressor to the magnetic bearings for the purpose of cooling these bearings. 6. The compressor unit of claim 5, in which a filter is incorporated in the lines running from the compressor to the magnetic bearings. 7. The compressor unit according of claim 5, in which a filter is incorporated in the line running from the compressor to the electric motor. 8. The compressor unit of claim 4, provided with a line which runs from the compressor to the electric motor for the purpose of conveying gas from the compressor to the electric motor for the purpose of cooling the electric motor. 9. The compressor unit of claim 4, in which the stator of the electric motor is provided with a dedicated cooling system for cooling the stator by means of a separate cooling medium. 10. The compressor unit of claim 9, in which the stator of the electric motor is accommodated in a stator chamber which is separate from the remainder of the interior of the compressor unit and is delimited by that section of the wall of the housing of the compressor unit which surrounds the stator and a partition which adjoins this wall section and extends in the radial direction on both sides of the stator and also between the stator and the rotor of the electric motor. 11. The compressor unit of claim 10, in which the stator chamber is provided with connections for supplying and discharging the separate cooling medium. 12. The compressor unit of claim 10, in which the wall of the stator chamber is designed in such a manner that it is able to withstand the design pressure of the compressor unit. 13. The compressor unit of claim 10, in which at least that section of the partition of the stator chamber which extends between the stator and the rotor of the electric motor is of thin-walled design, the stator chamber is incorporated in a closed cooling circuit which is completely filled with a cooling liquid, and the cooling system of the stator of the electric motor as a whole is able to withstand the design pressure of the compressor unit.
