Algorithm for the gas pulse
For an optimum cleaning result, the gas pulse adopted when designing the cleaning process
should be set via the control system on the engine side. The algorithm for the gas pulse is
specified in the section
. If this is not possible, the spe-
cified engine load point is to be set as an approximation.
Thermomechanical stress
Due to the thermomechanical stress of the turbine casing, the gas inlet temperature should
not exceed the specified maximum temperature before starting cleaning. If this is the case,
the engine load is to be lowered until the permissible temperature is reached.
