Abstract
Abstract A side-channel compressor includes a rotor having transport blades, and an injection nozzle for introducing a cooling liquid into a transport section of the compressor. Damage to the transport blades by droplets of liquid can be avoided by the providing the injection nozzle at the part of the compressor housing forming the side channel. The injection nozzle directs the coolant into a side channel space which is free of the transport blades.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
72 words
A side-channel compressor comprising: (a) a housing; (b) a rotor, disposed in said housing; (c) transport blades included on said rotor, said housing having a side-channel space free of said transport blades; (d) an injection nozzle introducing a cooling liquid into the transport section of the compressor, wherein said injection nozzle is disposed on a portion of said housing and wherein the injection nozzle directs a coolant into said side channel space.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
72 words
A side-channel compressor comprising: (a) a housing; (b) a rotor, disposed in said housing; (c) transport blades included on said rotor, said housing having a side-channel space free of said transport blades; (d) an injection nozzle introducing a cooling liquid into the transport section of the compressor, wherein said injection nozzle is disposed on a portion of said housing and wherein the injection nozzle directs a coolant into said side channel space.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
40 words
A side-channel compressor according to claim 1, wherein said injection nozzle is aligned in such a manner that it is inclined to introduce coolant in a direction against a direction of flow of a transport gas through the side-channel compressor.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
49 words
A side-channel compressor according to claim 2, further comprising an inlet opening and an outlet opening wherein said injection nozzle is disposed in the compressor housing at approximately a point which is a circumferential middle point between said inlet opening and said outlet opening of the side channel compressor.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
47 words
A side-channel compressor according to claim 3, wherein said compressor includes a plurality of compression stages, including an input compressor stage and wherein said injection nozzle is disposed in the housing of one of the plurality of compressor stages, said one stage follows said input compressor stage.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
47 words
A side-channel compressor according to claim 2, wherein said compressor includes a plurality of compression stages, including an input compressor stage and wherein said injection nozzle is disposed in the housing of one of the plurality of compressor stages, said one stage follows said input compressor stage.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
52 words
A side-channel compressor according to claim 1, wherein said injection nozzle is aligned in such a manner that it is inclined to introduce coolant in a direction coincident with a direction of flow of a transport gas through the side channel that prevails at the point the injection nozzle introduces the coolant.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
49 words
A side-channel compressor according to claim 6, further comprising an inlet opening and an outlet opening wherein said injection nozzle is disposed in the compressor housing at approximately a point which is a circumferential middle point between said inlet opening and said outlet opening of the side channel compressor.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
47 words
A side-channel compressor according to claim 7, wherein said compressor includes a plurality of compression stages, including an input compressor stage and wherein said injection nozzle is disposed in the housing of one of the plurality of compressor stages, said one stage follows said input compressor stage.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
47 words
A side-channel compressor according to claim 6, wherein said compressor includes a plurality of compression stages, including an input compressor stage and wherein said injection nozzle is disposed in the housing of one of the plurality of compressor stages, said one stage follows said input compressor stage.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
49 words
A side-channel compressor according to claim 1, further comprising an inlet opening and an outlet opening wherein said injection nozzle is disposed in the compressor housing at approximately a point which is a circumferential middle point between said inlet opening and said outlet opening of the side channel compressor.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
47 words
A side-channel compressor according to claim 10, wherein said compressor includes a plurality of compression stages, including an input compressor stage and wherein said injection nozzle is disposed in the housing of one of the plurality of compressor stages, said one stage follows said input compressor stage.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
47 words
A side-channel compressor according to claim 1, wherein said compressor includes a plurality of compression stages, including an input compressor stage and wherein said injection nozzle is disposed in the housing of one of the plurality of compressor stages, said one stage follows said input compressor stage.
