15.1.5 Cleaning procedure of compressor
The compressor can be cleaned during operation by injecting
water. The method is suitable, provided contamination is not too
far advanced. If the deposit is very heavy and hard, the compres-
sor must be cleaned mechanically.
The injected water does not act as a solvent, the cleaning effect
is achieved by the physical impact of the drops on the deposit. It
is therefore advisable to use clean water containing no additives
either in the form of solvents or softening agents, which could be
precipitated in the compressor and form a deposit.
Regular cleaning of the compressor prevents or delays the
formation of deposit, but it does not eliminate the need for normal
overhauls, for which the turbocharger has to be completely dis-
mantled.
An inlet pipe, through which water can be injected into the
compressor, is integrated in the air inlet casing and in the
compressor casing.
The water must be injected while the engine is running and at
the highest possible load, i. e. at a high compressor speed.
For an efficient washing it is important to inject all the water
required within 4 - 10 seconds. This water quantity is 0.3 dm
3
For injection the measuring cup on the turbocharger bracket
should be used, the latter being pressurized (e.g. by charge-air).
Under no circumstances may the injection nozzle be connected to
the water main flow through tap or a large tank, because this
would allow an uncontrolled quantity of water to enter the turbo-
charger and the diesel engine.
Note!
Clean the compressor (air side) of the turbocharger at as high
load as possible (full rated load).
The cleaning device for the compressor is used as follow:
1 Record blower charge air pressure,
cylinder exhaust
gas temperatures, charger speed, for later use to assess effi-
ciency of the cleaning.
2 Loosen knob (3) and remove cover (1).
3 Fill the cup with water up to 1 cm below the rim.
4 Re-fit cover (1) and tight screw knob (3).
5 Press button (2).
The button opens a valve which admits
compressed air from the compressor through pipe (4). This
forces the water through a passage and through the pipe (5) to
the compressor.
6 Repeat the readings
taken in step 1 above for compara-
tive purposes. The success of injection can be recognized by the
change in charge air pressure and in the exhaust gas tempera-
ture, Fig 15-3.
