METHOD OF CLEANING SUPERCHARGING TURBO-COMPRESSOR OF INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE Russian patent published in 1995 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering. SUBSTANCE: compressed air is pumped through the labyrinth passageway and washing solution at 80-85°C is fed by turns. The device has tank for washing solution. The tank and turbo-compressor define a closed- loop circuit having supplying branch pipe for connecting with the outer autonomous source of compressed air and discharging branch pipe for connecting with the labyrinth passageway of the seal of the turbo-compressor rotor. The protecting shell has an opening and is inclined to the longitudinal axis at 30-50°. EFFECT: enhanced efficiency. 3 cl, 8 dwg
