Abstract
A device for compressing a gaseous medium such as those used in energy generating systems or gas separation systems, including a compressor unit provided with a medium inlet, an outlet for the compressed medium and with means for the atomising of a liquid evaporation agent in the medium, wherein the atomising means include at least one flash swirl atomisation unit, arranged and mounted such that the atomised evaporation agent fragmentises by means of the formation of gas in the atomised evaporation agent.
Claims18
A device for compressing a gaseous medium, comprising a compressor unit provided with a medium inlet, a compressed medium outlet, and means for atomising an evaporation agent in the medium, wherein the atomising means includes at least one flash atomisation unit arranged and mounted such that the atomised evaporation agent fragmentises by means of formation of gas in the atomised evaporation agent, wherein the flash atomisation unit is a flash swirl atomisation unit.
A system for generating energy comprising at least one gas turbine and at least one compressor unit driven by the gas turbine, with the compressor unit including a medium inlet, a compressed medium outlet, and means for atomising an evaporation agent in the medium, wherein the compressor unit has at least one flash atomisation unit arranged and mounted such that the atomised evaporation agent fragmentises by means of the formation of gas in the atomised evaporation agent, wherein the flash atomisation unit is a flash swirl atomisation unit.
