ECT Engine Cleaning Technology
• Gas Turbines | ||||||||||||||
Gas Turbines are extremely susceptible to performance losses due to aerodynamic degradation caused by fouling. Even moderate fouling can cause losses of five percent or more. Heavy fouling can rob an engine of eight percent of its rated output. This problem can be solved by: | ||||||||||||||
In-service cleaning: typically a light application of dilute cleaner for 6-8 minutes 2-3 times per week. ECT’s custom injection manifolds control droplet size and prevent blade erosion. ECT’s unique chemistry Prevents redeposit on latter stages of the compressor | Offline Cleaning: Done while the engine is at “crank” speed (usually about 1,000 rpm), the compressor case is flooded with cleaner and allowed to soak for about 20 minutes. This method facilitates cleaning the entire rotor from the first stage to the last. | |||||||||||||
