1
) The temperature at the turbine inlet can be up to 100 °C higher than the exhaust gas tem-
perature after the cylinder. This must be taken into account when setting the operating
point before cleaning.
If necessary, the engine performance must be reduced to meet these conditions. The clean-
ing cycle can be started when the above conditions are fulfilled.
2
) External air supply for continuous blowing off of the cleaning nozzles between cleaning in-
tervals.
