7.3.6
Carrying out wet cleaning of the turbine
CAUTION
Inadmissible thermal stress and flooding of the turbine
Smaller amounts of water can lead to an inadequate cleaning result. Larger
amounts of water lead to inadmissible thermal stress on the turbine com-
ponents and can cause flooding of the turbine.
u
It is imperative that turbine cleaning parameters are observed.
CAUTION
Maximum temperature at turbine inlet during cleaning
During cleaning, the temperature at the turbine inlet will rise and may strain
the material significantly.
u
Make sure the maximum temperature at the turbine inlet is not exceeded
during cleaning.

u
Fulfil prerequisites.
u
Ensure that there is a supply of water (01).
u
Open the stop valve (02) and set the water volume flow V
W
with a flowmeter (03) (see
cleaning parameters).
u
Close the stop valve (02) after 10 minutes.
u
Wait for 10 minutes; do not change the load during this stabilisation phase.
If the cleaning result is unsatisfactory or there is water leakage, contact a Turbo Systems
service station.
