A compressor wash system for compressor washing includes stages of fluid delivery lines coupled at one end to a pump output and at the other end to a corresponding nozzle set. A control valve is connected to the fluid delivery line between the pump and the nozzle set, selectively supplying fluid between the pump and the nozzle set. Each nozzle of a nozzle set is positioned on an inlet of the compressor to allow the stages to wash a portion of the compressor. Nozzle sets are positioned around a bellmouth assembly and/or around an inlet cone of the compressor inlet, with a nozzle spray tip of each nozzle extending into an inlet air flow path of the compressor. Fluid may be directed to one or more of the stages in a sequencing pattern determined and configured to wash the compressor. Templates and installation guides are utilized to position the nozzles.

The method of claim 8, wherein applying one or more templates and/or installation tools to a portion of an inlet of the compressor comprises positioning one or more templates and/or installation tools on the inlet cone of the compressor or on the bellmouth assembly of the compressor. 10. The method of claim 9, further comprising drilling insertion ports in the one or more templates and/or installation tools at the marked locations to position the nozzles. 11. The method of claim 10, further comprising applying fitting sleeves to each insertion port, wherein the fitting sleeves are configured to hold in position a corresponding nozzle, wherein each nozzle further comprises a lock collar connected to the nozzle body, each lock collar configured to secure the corresponding nozzle in a corresponding fitting sleeve. 12. The method of claim 9, wherein one or more of the applied templates and/or installation tools fits around struts of a bearing hub to mark nozzle positions between struts of the bellmouth assembly. 13. The method of claim 9, wherein one or more of the applied templates and/or installation tools fits around an inner circumference of the inlet cone to mark nozzle positions around the circumference. 14. The method of claim 9, further comprising: installing nozzles on the inlet cone or on the bellmouth assembly of the compressor with a cone installation tool comprising a drill bit guide configured to drill a positioning angle for the nozzle spray tips of the nozzles. 15. The method of claim 9, wherein the one or more templates comprises a one strut template or a two strut template to mark bellmouth nozzle port penetration points for insertion and placement of bellmouth nozzles on the bellmouth assembly, wherein the one strut template is configurable to be positioned around one strut of the bellmouth assembly, and wherein the two strut template is configurable to be positioned around two struts of the bellmouth assembly.
