MULTISTAGED COMPRESSOR WATER-WASHING SYSTEM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an effective and efficient compressor-washing system.

SOLUTION: The compressor-washing system includes stages of fluid delivery lines coupled at one end to a pump output and at the other end to a corresponding nozzle set. A control valve is connected to the fluid delivery line between the pump and the nozzle set to selectively supply a fluid between the pump and the nozzle set. Each nozzle of the nozzle set is positioned on the inlet of a compressor to allow the stages to wash a portion of the compressor. The nozzle sets are positioned around a bellmouth assembly and/or around the inlet cone of the compressor inlet, with a nozzle spray tip of each nozzle extending into an inlet air flow path of the compressor. The fluid may be directed to one or more of the stages in a sequencing pattern determined and configured to wash the compressor. Templates and installation guides are utilized to position the nozzles.
