ABSTRACT:
An auxiliary blower is connected to the gaseous supply line to the axial compressor to deliver a gaseous medium, such as air, under pressure to the compressor when the rotor has been shut-off and slowed to a reduced speed. The delivered gaseous medium allows the rotor to continue rotating at the reduced speed while cooling of the rotor and vanes takes place in a uniform manner. The drive power for the blower amounts to 0.05% to 0.1% of the useful power in full-load operation of the compressor.
