Compressor Comprising A Guide Vane Having A Washing System

Abstract

A compressor for compressing a working medium, having at least one rotor-side rotor-blade ring and at least one stator-side guide-vane ring. The or each rotor-blade ring has a plurality of rotor blades and the or each guide-vane ring has a plurality of guide vanes. At least one guide vane has a washing system, by which washing agent can be squirted or sprayed onto assemblies positioned adjacent to the particular guide-vane ring, in particular to a rotor-blade ring positioned adjacent to the particular guide-vane ring.

1 .- 10 . (canceled) 
     
     
         11 . A compressor for compressing a working medium, comprising:
 at least one rotor side rotor-blade ring that comprises a plurality of rotor blades; and   at least one stator side guide-vane ring that comprises a plurality of guide vanes;   at least one guide vane comprises a washing system, via which washing agent is dispensed onto a rotor-blade ring positioned adjacent to the respective guide-vane ring.   
     
     
         12 . The compressor according to  claim 11 , wherein a plurality of guide vanes comprise a washing system, wherein a number and a position of the guide vanes comprising a washing system is designed so that the plurality of rotor blades of the rotor-blade ring are not excitable into natural vibrations by the dispensed washing agent. 
     
     
         13 . The compressor according to  claim 12 , wherein a number and position of the guide vanes having a washing system in the respective guide-vane ring is configured so that the rotor-blade ring that are dispensed upon via the washing system of the respective guide-vane ring and positioned adjacent to the respective guide-vane ring are not excitable into natural vibrations by the dispensing. 
     
     
         14 . The compressor according to  claim 11 , wherein the washing system of a respective guide vane has at least one nozzle and at least one washing agent duct leading to the at least one nozzle, wherein the washing agent duct runs within the respective guide vane. 
     
     
         15 . The compressor according to  claim 14 , wherein the at least one washing agent duct of the respective guide vane is configured to be supplied with the washing agent via a supply duct introduced into one of a vane root or into a driving pin of the respective guide vane. 
     
     
         16 . The compressor according to  claim 15 , wherein the washing agent is supplied to the supply duct of the respective guide vane via a flexible supply hose. 
     
     
         17 . The compressor according to  claim 11 , wherein in a region of an adjustable initial guide vane ring, which comprises adjustable guide vanes, at least one guide vane has a washing system. 
     
     
         18 . The compressor according to  claim 17 , wherein the adjustable initial guide vane ring is configured to be supplied with the washing agent via a driveshaft of the same. 
     
     
         19 . The compressor according to  claim 11 , wherein each guide vane having a respective washing system is produced via an additive production method. 
     
     
         20 . The compressor according to  claim 11 , wherein each guide vane having a washing system is a casting. 
     
     
         21 . The compressor according to  claim 11 , wherein the washing agent is dispensed by squirting or spraying.
