Abstract:
A wash system for a gas turbine engine includes a foam generating device configured for receiving and aerating a flow of wash fluid to generate a flow of foamed wash fluid having particular foam characteristics. The flow of foamed wash fluid passes through a distribution manifold where it is selectively directed through a plurality of wash lines to desired portions of the gas turbine engine. The wash system further includes a controller configured for manipulating the foam characteristics of the flow of foamed wash fluid and using the distribution manifold to selectively direct the flow of foamed wash fluid to desired portions of the gas turbine engine for optimal cleaning and improved engine efficiency.

Claim (Index 11):
The method of  claim 10 , wherein the gas turbine engine comprises a compressor section, a combustor section, and a turbine section, the gas turbine engine defining a plurality of borescope holes located within one or more of the compressor section, the combustor section, and the turbine section, the gas turbine engine further comprising one or more inlet nozzles positioned proximate an engine inlet, the method comprising:\n positioning the plurality of wash lines into or through the plurality of borescope holes or the inlet nozzles defined by the turbine engine, each of the plurality of wash lines being fluidly connected to a respective valve of the distribution manifold; selectively providing the flow of foamed wash fluid to the distribution manifold and through one of the plurality of wash lines into one of the compressor section, the combustor section, the turbine section, or the engine inlet.
