The invention relates to a method for compressing the working fluid during a water/steam combination process in multi-stage turbocompressors comprising intercooling in the individual compressor stages, by the addition of a coolant to the working fluid. The aim of the invention is to provide a technical solution, which is suitable for the efficient intercooling of the working fluid during multi-stage compression and thus for the highest possible reduction of the required compressor power. To achieve this, dispersed water, which is obtained by the pressure atomisation of water to form micro-droplets, is used as the coolant. The coolant is added directly to the working fluid in at least one compression stage in a quantity that maintains the thermodynamic equilibrium, and is converted during compression into the state of said working fluid, the evaporation of the coolant taking place at the saturation line. The addition of coolant between the compressor entrance and the compressor exit permits the mass flow of the working fluid to be increased.

La présente invention concerne un procédé de compression du fluide actif au cours d'un processus combiné eau-vapeur dans des turbocompresseurs polyétagés faisant intervenir des refroidissements intermédiaires dans les étages individuels du compresseur, par adjonction d'un agent de refroidissement au fluide actif. L'invention a pour objet de trouver une solution technique pour permettre un refroidissement intermédiaire efficace du fluide actif lors de la compression polyétagée, et ainsi une minimisation maximale de la puissance d'entraînement du compresseur. A cet effet, en tant qu'agent de refroidissement est utilisée de l'eau finement répartie qui est obtenue par vaporisation sous pression d'eau pour donner des microgouttes d'eau. Selon l'invention, l'agent de refroidissement est ajouté au fluide actif en une quantité qui permet la conservation de l'équilibre thermodynamique, directement dans au moins un étage du compresseur, et passe à l'état du fluide actif au cours de la compression, la vaporisation de l'agent de refroidissement s'effectuant le long de la ligne de saturation. L'adjonction d'agent de refroidissement entre l'entrée et la sortie du compresseur permet d'augmenter le débit massique de fluide actif.
