Possible causes
Remedy
Low-pressure
or
high-pressure
stage
Heavy contamination of the com-
pressor components due to the in-
flux of ventilation gases
Clean the compressor
Optimize oil separation
Increased vibration, compressor
blade damage due to the influx of
ventilation gases
Correct the influx of ventilation gases in
accordance with the enginebuilder's in-
structions.
Table 36: Malfunctions during operation – Compressor 1 contamination
Reduced fatigue strength of the compressor wheel, compressor blade breakage.
Possible causes
Remedy
Low-pressure
or
high-pressure
stage
Material of the compressor wheel
corroded due to the influx of ventila-
tion gases containing corrosive com-
ponents
Correct the influx of ventilation gases in
