Turbine compressor washing rigs

INDUSTRIAL RIGS

Type 1 Pressurised Lightweight Rig

Utilising a pressure vessel as the prime mover. This type is designed for the industrial user in particular for offshore applications, where low maintenance is a major consideration. This rig has no moving parts except for the solenoid valve.

How it works

The pressure vessel(s) is (are) filled with the appropriate washing mixture. The mixture is then pressurised with compressed air. The pressurisation process agitates the fluid providing additional mixing. The fluid delivery hose is attached to the turbine washing ring. The engine is then either a) Cold Crank Washed or b) Hot Washed. In either case the fluid is forced through the turbine blades under the control of the operator. The fluid is agitated and filtered, whilst being delivered to the engine ensuring a high mix quality. With rigs with two pressure vessels, one vessel is used for the washing solution mixture and the other for a rinse using demineralised water.

These rigs are fitted with either ball valves for manual control or solenoid valves for remote control. All rigs have an auxiliary air hose for closing the interstage blow off valves and a 120 mesh stainless steel filter to ensure the engine spray nozzles are kept clear.

A range of rigs are available from 1 gallon capacity to 50 gallon capacity. These rigs can be mobile or static. We specialise in customising rigs to customers specific requirements

Type 2 Pressurised Lightweight Diaphram pump rig

Utilising a Diaphragm pump as the prime mover. These rigs are for the Heat and Power Generation Business designed to help engine manufacturers produce a competitive package.

How it works

The equipment consists of a 6 gallon polypropylene tank or a stainless-steel tank for lower temperatures, a diaphragm pump, solenoid valve and associated air services, all mounted on a lightweight 2 wheeled trolly or static frame.
All the major items are fully enclosed in a steel container which has two removable panels for access. The delivery, air inlet, air outlet and electrical cable are stowed on either side of the rig.

The air inlet is regulated down a pre-determined pressure (0-95 psi available) then lubricated and fed via the solenoid valve to the air driven diaphragm pump. This pump draws the pre-mixed washing solution from the tank and forces it out of the delivery hose, which is connected to the spray ring of the engine being washed,. An air outlet hose for connection to the interstage blow off valve, is provided, upstream of the regulator.
