Cleaning the compressor during operation
6.2.1
Introduction
Approval by enginebuilder
These instructions for wet cleaning only apply to cleaning with pure water and under the pre-
condition that the enginebuilder approves the process.
General
The contamination of the compressor stage (compressor wheel and diffuser) depends on the
degree of purity of the sucked-in air.
Deposits can form in the flow channels if salt, oil mist or dust are sucked in with the air.
Consequences of contamination:
Impaired compressor efficiency
Higher exhaust gas temperatures
Increased fuel consumption
Increased rotor unbalance
Periodic cleaning of the compressor during operation prevents or delays any great increase in
the contamination, but never replaces the regular service work where the low and high-pressure
stages are completely dismantled and the compressors are mechanically cleaned.
