The interval between periodic cleaning is very dependent on the operating
conditions. In general, cleaning should be carried out every 50 to 200 op-
erating hours.
Should the specified cleaning intervals prove incompatible with engine
operation, please contact ABB Turbo Systems.
Turbine components are cleaned during operation using the wet cleaning
processes described in the following. These have been tested and are
approved by ABB Turbo Systems.
The turbine casing design and the type of turbine casing sealing are deci-
sive for the choice of cleaning method.
Approval by engine manufacturer
The prerequisite for wet cleaning is that the engine manufacturer ap-
proves the method and his instructions are followed.
