    摘要: A corrosion maintenance scheduling and implementation system and method measure one or more characteristics 200 of corrosion in equipment 104 before and after implementation of a corrosion remediation action, determine one or more of a change in the one or more characteristics 200 of the corrosion between before and after implementation of the corrosion remediation action, one or more historical operational characteristics 200 of the equipment 104, or one or more forthcoming operational characteristics 200 of the equipment 104, and modify a schedule of the corrosion remediation action for the equipment 104 based on one or more of the one or more characteristics 200 of corrosion that are measured, the change in the one or more characteristics 200 of the corrosion, the one or more historical operational characteristics 200 of the equipment 104, and/or the one or more forthcoming operational characteristics 200 of the equipment 104.

    摘要: System (200) for selectively contacting a cleaning composition (10) with a surface of a turbine engine component is presented. The system includes a cleaning apparatus (210) and a manifold assembly (220). The cleaning apparatus (210) includes an upper portion (211) and a lower portion (212) defining a cleaning chamber (213) configured to allow selective contact between the cleaning composition (10) and a surface of the first portion of the turbine engine component. The upper portion (211) includes a plurality of fill holes (201) in fluid communication with the cleaning chamber (213), and the lower portion (212) includes a plurality of drain holes (202) in fluid communication with the cleaning chamber (213). The manifold assembly (220) is configured to selectively circulate the cleaning composition (10) from a reservoir (250) to the cleaning chamber (213) via the plurality of fill holes (201), and recirculate the cleaning composition from the cleaning chamber (213) to the reservoir (250) via the plurality of drain holes (202). Methods for selectively cleaning a turbine engine component is also presented.

    摘要: A system (100) for detecting the presence of an anomaly (102) within a component (104) includes a motorized apparatus (402) configured to move around the component. The system also includes an excitation device (112) and a camera (114) mounted to the motorized apparatus. The excitation device is configured to emit an excitation signal (116) toward the component to cause the anomaly within the component to generate a detectable reactionary thermal signal (118) in response to the excitation signal. The camera is configured to capture thermal images (124) of the component. The thermal images include the detectable reactionary thermal signal and indicate the presence of the anomaly within the component. The system further includes a controller (110) communicatively coupled to the excitation device and the camera. The controller is configured to receive and analyze the thermal images to detect the presence of the anomaly within the component. The controller is configured to adjust one or more operating parameters of the system to affect a characteristic of the detectable reactionary signal based on the thermal images.

    摘要: A turbine engine cleaning system 11 includes a foaming nozzle 52. The foaming nozzle 52 includes a wall 61 having a thickness 62 between an outer surface 66 of the wall 61 and an inner surface 64 of the wall. The outer surface 66 of the wall 61 is configured to contact a detergent 59 in which the foaming nozzle 52 is configured to be disposed. The inner surface 64 of the wall 61 surrounds an inner plenum 69 of the foaming nozzle 52, and the inner plenum 69 is configured to receive an aerating gas 59. The foaming nozzle 52 also includes a first row of first through holes 68 fluidly coupled to, and extending between, a first row of first through hole inlets 67 at the inner surface 64 of the wall 61 and a first row of first through hole outlets 70 at the outer surface 66 of the wall 61. The foaming nozzle 52 also includes a second row of second through holes 68 disposed axially adjacent to the first row of second through holes 68 with respect to a longitudinal axis 95 of the inner plenum 69, where the second row of second through holes 68 is fluidly coupled to, and extending between, a second row of second through hole inlets 67 at the inner surface 64 of the wall 61 and a second row of second through hole outlets 70 at the outer surface 66 of the wall 61. The foaming nozzle 52 also includes cross-sections of the first through holes 68 and the second through holes 68 having regular shapes.
