Abstract

In an injection device for the ON-LINE wet cleaning of compressor, the liquid cleaning agent is injected via a nozzle into the flow passage upstream of the compressor. The nozzle is a molecular atomizer which is mounted in the casing wall of the compressor in such a way that it can be adjusted in a three-dimensional manner in a ball-and-socket joint and can be maintained, adjusted or even exchanged during the operation of the machine.
