Turbine compressor washing rigs

High Capacity Rigs

The 50 (2x25) gallon engine compressor washing rig (Part No. JMP/CF6/D/4038) consists of two 25 imperial gallons (113.5 litres) stainless steel pressure vessels (one for cleaning fluid, one for demineralised water or both for water - making a 50 gallon water washing rig) all mounted on a rigid steel chassis.
The chassis is supported by four pneumatic tyred wheels, two of which are mounted on a turntable which rotates via ball bearings.
A towbar, which can be locked in the upright position for storage and safety, is attached to the turntable. A drawbar operated parking brake acts on the two front wheels when the drawbar is locked in the upright position.

The pressure vessels are designed for a maximum working pressure of 80 lbf/sq in. (5.52 bar) and a maximum temperature of 85'C. For safety, if hot water is used, it is recommended that a maximum water temperature of 70'C is used. Immersion heaters are now optional with this rig.

Each pressure vessel is fitted with a filler cap, gauze strainer, pressure gauge, sight glass and a pressure relief valve. A 3/4 in BSP drain valve is installed at the bottom of each pressure vessel.

The two outlet delivery hoses are stowed, one on either side, at the front of the rig.
Boxes, situated at the rear of the rig, provide stowage for the engine wash probes and the twin delivery hose.

Blow-off line assembly - Used for operation of pressure sensing lines on engines with FADEC engine control systems. The blow-off line assembly connects directly to the nitrogen inlet manifold on the engine compressor rig, on which an outlet is provided. This outlet can also be used for the connection of an external air source to operate the rig.

The fluid in the pressure vessels is pressurised by two nitrogen cylinders which are mounted, in the upright position, on the chassis forward of the pressure vessels. The nitrogen supply to the pressure vessels is controlled by a regulator which reduces the receiver pressure down to 80 lbf/sq in. (5.51 bar) The reduced pressure is distributed to the top of each pressure vessel via a nitrogen inlet manifold. A plug on the manifold provides for the installation of a blow-off line assembly for pressure sensing lines (FADEC Engine Control), which is available as an optional accessory.

When the vessels are pressurised, the fluid is forced up the outlet stack pipe to the appropriate fluid outlet isolation ball valve. From there it is directed through the filter to the 3-way engine selection ball valve which controls the output to the appropriate outlet hose. The outlet hoses are wound on stowages located, one at either side, at the front of the rig. Both hoses are 18 ft 6 in. (5.64 m) long, however, the right hand hose is 3/4 in. NB and the left hose is 1/2 in. NB. Quick release couplings are installed on the end of each hose. Rubber protective collars are installed on the end of each hose to protect couplings from damage.
