I have a doubt on water wash of compressor. During water wash process. The water will be filled in the compressor casing. Half of compressor casing.The casing is continuosly drain and should be at atmospheric pressure (casing also attached to the open type level gage) .

During the slow rotation of the compressor, (500-850 rpm), can the compressor rotor develop pressure in the casing? The diameter of rotor is 16 inch.
