The invention provides a compressor capable of improving exhaust heat recover efficiency. The compressor is provided with a compressor main body (1) for compressing air, and further comprises a heat exchanger (5) for cooling the compressed air exhausted by the compressor main body (1) by performing heat exchange with a working fluid; an expander (6) for expanding the working fluid which is gasified after being heated by the heat exchanger (5) and generating driving force; a condenser (7) for cooling and liquefying the working fluid supplied by the expander (6) and supplying the liquefied working fluid to the condenser (7) of the heat exchanger (5); and a circulating pump (8) for leading the working fluid to circulate among the heat exchanger (5), the expander (6) and the condenser (7).; A Rankine cycle is formed by the heat exchanger (5), the expander (6), the condenser (7) and the circulating pump(8).
