A multi or single-stage turbocompressor with at least one compressor wheel fastened to a shaft. The shaft is mounted in a turbocompressor housing which, behind the hub disc of the compressor wheel, includes an interior housing region as well as in front of the hub disc of the compressor wheel a front interior housing region. The driven compressor wheel delivers a fluid from an inlet channel to an outlet channel. The front interior housing region includes a wheel lateral space from which an extraction channel for the extraction of fluid is provided.
1. A turbocompressor comprising:
a housing having an inlet channel and an outlet channel;
a shaft mounted in the housing;
at least one compressor wheel having a hub disc fastened to the shaft, the hub disc dividing the housing in a flow direction into a rear interior housing region behind the hub disc and a front interior housing region front of the hub disc, the at least one compressor wheel configured to deliver a fluid from the inlet channel to the outlet channel;
a wheel lateral space, the wheel lateral space being displaced from a flow path of contaminants in the fluid between the inlet channel and the outlet channel;
an extraction channel formed in the front interior housing region and configured for the extraction of fluid directly from the wheel lateral space;
a cover disc affixed to the compressor wheel and located between the housing and the compressor wheel, wherein the wheel lateral space is positioned between the housing and the cover disc;
a running wheel channel formed between the cover disc and the compressor wheel, wherein the running wheel channel and the wheel lateral space are in fluidic communication around an end of the cover disc facing the outlet channel;
a return channel arranged in the wheel lateral space that connects the wheel lateral space to the inlet channel and that terminates in the inlet channel, wherein the wheel lateral space is in flow connection with the return channel and configured to deliver contaminants to the inlet channel due to pressure conditions; and
a collection chamber coupled to the extraction channel and configured as a diffuser.
2. The turbocompressor according to claim 1 wherein the collection chamber is configured to collect particle-free fluid formed in the front interior housing region, the collection chamber arranged in flow connection with the wheel lateral space.
3. The turbocompressor according to claim 1 , wherein the extraction channel is configured for flow connection with a clean gas consumer via at least one of a suitable channel, a space, and a tube.
4. The turbocompressor according to claim 1 , wherein the turbocompressor is a configured as radial compressor or diagonal compressor.
5. The turbocompressor according to claim 1 , wherein the turbocompressor is configured as a multi-stage single-shaft compressor.
6. The turbocompressor according to claim 1 , wherein the fluid is a gas.
7. The turbocompressor according to claim 6 , wherein the gas branched off via the wheel lateral space is supplied to a further treatment.
8. The turbocompressor according to claim 7 , wherein the housing is gas tight to the outside and is driven by a machine.
9. The turbocompressor according to claim 8 , wherein the machine is an electric motor.
10. The turbocompressor according to claim 6 , wherein the gas is contaminated with at least one of particles and liquids.
