Patent ID: 7521088

Claim:
A method of applying a corrosion inhibitor to the interior component parts of a turbine to provide corrosion protection to the components, the method comprising the steps of: sealing each intake opening and each exhaust opening in the turbine with a cover, forming at least one intake port one and at least one exhaust port in the intake opening seals and the exhaust opening seals, respectively, and drawing a stream of air into the turbine's interior through the at least one intake port, airlessly spraying a fog of the corrosion inhibitor into the stream of air drawn into the turbine so that the corrosion inhibitor is caused to be drawn into and throughout the interior of the turbine to coat the interior component parts of the turbine, drawing the fog of corrosion inhibitor and the stream of air being drawn into the turbine's interior out of the turbine through the at least one exhaust port, and subsequently sealing each opening in the turbine with a cover to contain the corrosion inhibitor inside the turbine.
