DRY ICE CLEANING APPARATUS FOR GAS TURBINE COMPRESSOR

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus for cleaning airfoils inside a gas turbine compressor.SOLUTION: Aspects of the invention provide an apparatus for cleaning airfoils inside a gas turbine compressor. In one embodiment, an apparatus for cleaning at least one airfoil inside a turbine compressor includes: a hose for applying cleaning material to the at least one airfoil; and an articulation assembly for articulating a nozzle of the hose. The articulation assembly includes: a main shaft attached to the hose at a first end; and an articulating trigger for rotating the first end of the main shaft. The apparatus may further include: a borescope attached to the articulation assembly; and a borescope monitor for viewing the at least one airfoil via the borescope.
