[0024] The specific operation mode of this technical solution is:

[0025] 1. Online washing

[0026] Online water washing can effectively extend the interval between offline water washing to reduce the number of shutdowns. The cleaning fluid is desalted water or a mixture of desalted water and cleaning fluid. The cleaning process generally takes 5 to 10 minutes (only the spray washing stage). It is recommended to perform online water washing every day and use desalted water + cleaning agent for water washing every two days. The type and accumulation of dirt are determined by the environment in which the power plant is located. The power plant operator should appropriately adjust the type of cleaning fluid and cleaning cycle according to the actual environment of the power plant.

[0027] The online water washing process is as follows

[0028] 1. Check whether the equipment, instruments and electrical connections of the water washing device are normal, the water tank 2 is clean and free of foreign matter, and the pressure pump 3, the water inlet ball valve 6 and the sewage ball valve in the discharge pipe 13 are in the closed state;

[0029] 2. Add an appropriate proportion of desalted water through the water inlet 7, and add the cleaning agent to the water tank 2 through the barrel pump 14. Crank the stirrer several times to mix the desalted water and the cleaning agent evenly.

[0030] 3. Reduce the turbine load as required and adjust the IGV to the corresponding position. Other applicable operating parameters must also be met;

[0031] 4. Connect the water washing device to the air intake system interface through the interconnecting hose 1;

[0032] 5. Open the shut-off valve on the online water washing nozzle pipeline and the water inlet ball valve 6 downstream of the pressure pump 3, while keeping the drain ball valve in the drain pipe 13 closed;

[0033] 6. Connect the water washing device to the power supply, start the pressure pump 3 through the control box 4, and observe whether the pressure pump 3 operates normally;

[0034] 7. The online water washing process begins;

[0035] 8. After all the cleaning fluids have been sprayed, turn off the pressure pump 3;

[0036] 9. Then close the water inlet ball valve 6, disconnect the power supply of the water washing device, untie the interconnecting hose 1 on the interface, and plug the interface with the corresponding pipe cap;

[0037] 10. Open the drain ball valve in the drain pipe 13 to drain the remaining cleaning liquid in the water tank 2;

[0038] 11. The online water washing process is completed.

[0039] 2. Offline washing

[0040] Offline water washing is carried out under the drive of SFC. The entire cleaning process takes 8-10 hours (including 6 hours of turbine cooling). Generally, offline water washing is divided into four steps: preparation, cleaning, rinsing, and drying.

[0041] The details are as follows:

[0042] Step 1: Preparation

[0043] 1. After the gas turbine is shut down, crank and cool it down for about 6 hours;

[0044] 2. Open all valves of the drain system;

[0045] 3. Connect the drain main pipe to the power plant wastewater system. If the wastewater is discharged into the wastewater pool through the pipe, the shut-off valve on this pipe must also be opened;

[0046] 4. Shut down and lock the fuel supply and ignition system through the I&C system;

[0047] 5. Check whether the equipment, instruments and electrical connections of the water washing device are normal, the water tank 2 is clean and free of foreign matter, and the pressure pump 3, the water inlet ball valve 6 and the drain ball valve in the drain pipe 13 are in the closed state;

[0048] 6. Add appropriate proportion of desalted water through the water inlet 7, and add the cleaning agent to the water tank 2 through the barrel pump 14. Crank the stirrer several times to mix the desalted water and the cleaning agent evenly.

[0049] Step 2: Cleaning

[0050] 1. Fully open IGV;

[0051] 2. Use the cranking device to crank the turbine rotor;

[0052] 3. Connect to the air intake system interface 27A through the interconnecting hose 1 of the water washing device;

[0053] 4. Open the shut-off valve on the offline water washing nozzle pipeline and the water inlet ball valve 6 downstream of the pressure pump 3, while keeping the sewage ball valve in the drain pipe 13 closed;

[0054] 5. Connect the water washing device to the power supply, start the pressure pump 3 through the control box 4, and observe whether the pressure pump 3 operates normally;

[0055] 6. When the level gauge 5 indicates that the cleaning fluid has been consumed by 25%, turn off the pressure pump 3;

[0056] 7. Close the shut-off valve on the offline nozzle pipeline and open the shut-off valve on the online nozzle pipeline;

[0057] 8. Turn off the cranking device and use SFC to accelerate the engine (the switching speed cannot be lower than 100 rpm);

[0058] 9. When the speed reaches 300 rpm, start the pressure pump 3 and start the water washing process;

[0059] 10. When the engine speed reaches 750 rpm, turn off the SFC and allow the cleaning fluid to continue to be sprayed before the engine slows down to 300 rpm (the engine speed must be kept above 300 rpm during the cleaning fluid spraying process).

[0060] 11. When all the cleaning fluid is used up, turn off the pressure pump 3;

[0061] 12. The engine continues to decelerate to the cranking state (the entire water washing process takes about 20 minutes).

[0062] Step 3: Rinse

[0063] 1. Add 600 liters of demineralized water to water tank 2 through water inlet 7;

[0064] 2. Use the cranking device to crank the turbine rotor;

[0065] 3. Open the shut-off valve on the offline water washing nozzle pipeline and the water inlet ball valve 6 downstream of the pressure pump 3, while keeping the sewage ball valve in the drain pipe 13 closed;

[0066] 4. Start the pressure pump 3;

[0067] 5. When the level gauge 5 shows that the desalted water is consumed by 25%, turn off the pressure pump 3;

[0068] 6. Close the shut-off valve on the offline nozzle pipeline and open the shut-off valve on the online nozzle pipeline;

[0069] 7. Turn off the cranking device and use SFC to accelerate the engine (the switching speed cannot be lower than 100rpm). The SFC accelerated water washing curve is similar to that during cleaning;

[0070] 8. When the speed reaches 300 rpm, start the pressure pump 3 and start the water washing process;

[0071] 9. When the speed reaches 750 rpm, turn off the SFC and allow the desalted water to continue to be injected before the engine slows down to 300 rpm;

[0072] 10. When all the desalted water is used up, turn off the pressure pump 3;

[0073] 11. Disconnect the power supply of the water washing device, untie the interconnecting hose 1 of the interface, and plug the interface with the corresponding pipe cap;

[0074] Step 4: Drying

[0075] Dry igniter: To prevent starting failure caused by a wet igniter, it is recommended to start the "purge mode". This process can be repeated when the temperature is low and the humidity is high.
