Abstract

The present disclosure is directed to an auxiliary cleaning system for cleaning a gas turbine engine. The auxiliary cleaning system includes an external motoring source mechanically coupled to one or more engine shafts of the gas turbine engine. Thus, the external motoring source is configured to turn the one or more shafts. The auxiliary cleaning system also includes a cleaning apparatus configured to implement a cleaning procedure on the gas turbine engine while the external motoring source is turning the one or more shafts of the gas turbine engine.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to gas turbine engines, and more particularly to auxiliary cleaning systems for gas turbine engines. Background technique [0002] A gas turbine engine generally includes a compressor section, a combustion section, a turbine section, and an exhaust section in series flow order. In operation, air enters the inlet of the compressor section where one or more axial or centrifugal compressors progressively compress the air until it reaches the combustion section. The fuel is mixed with compressed air and incinerated in the combustion section to provide combustion gases. Combustion gases are sent from the combustion section through a hot gas path defined within the turbine section, and then exhausted from the turbine section via the exhaust section. [0003] In a particular configuration, the turbine section includes a high pressure (HP) turbine and a low pressure (LP) turbine in series flow order. Both HP and LP tu...
