  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REDUCING CORROSION IN A COMPRESSOR
    Publication number: 20120189425
    Abstract: A system for reducing corrosion in a compressor includes a compressor blade having a corrosion potential. A sensor connected to the compressor blade generates a signal reflective of the corrosion potential. A power supply connected to the compressor blade at an electrical connection produces an electrical potential at the electrical connection. An electrolyte coats at least a portion of the sensor and the electrical connection. A method for reducing corrosion in a compressor includes sensing a corrosion potential of a compressor blade and generating a signal reflective of the corrosion potential. The method further includes generating an electrical potential at an electrical connection on the compressor blade and flowing an electrolyte over at least a portion of the compressor blade and the electrical connection.
