Compressor Wash and Atomizing Air Compressor
Compressor Wash and Atomizing Air Compressor
(OP)
Does anybody have experience doing compressor washes on units which have a shaft driven atomizing air compressor.
I am concerned that water will get sucked into the compressor and damage it.
One solution that I am considering is placing a valve in the 6" line to the compressor. However, this might damage the compressor also because it will have no suction yet it will still be rotating.
Does anybody have any experience with this or suggestions on how to do this properly?
Thank you

RE: Compressor Wash and Atomizing Air Compressor
FOLLOW THE MANUFACTURER'S RECOMMENDATIONS FOR WATER WASH BY THE LETTER.
During water wash the shaft driven atomizing air compressor turns at about 20% or less of the rated speed.
The booster atomizing air compressor must be disabled and valved out.

I've always used the GEK to WW units and never had a problem.
I do not have experience with Westinghouse.
