Abstract
A compressor includes a compressor wheel, a diffuser and a device for the wet cleaning of the diffuser of a compressor, the diffuser being arranged downstream of the compressor wheel in the flow direction of the medium to be compressed. The device includes an arrangement for injecting a liquid, which is arranged in such a way that the liquid can be introduced, downstream of the compressor wheel, to the diffuser. The diffuser has at least partially a non-stick coating. A device of this type is suitable for removing deep-seated deposits from the surface of the diffuser.
