Keyfeatures
OEM-Licensed Procedure – GE-supplied SER/CP and approved task cards formalize the method and reduce audit risk.
Broad Engine Coverage – Qualified on GEnx-1B/2B, GE90-100, CF34-8E/8C, CFM56-5B, GP7200; LEAP trials progressing.
On-Wing Troubleshooting Capability – Applied to eliminate CFM56-5B N2 vibration events and stabilize engine parameters.
Efficiency Gains Retained – Recovers EGTHDM and reduces DFF to extend Time-on-Wing and lower maintenance cost.
Integrated Cart Architecture – PLC/HMI-controlled cart with detergent, air, and scavenge loops plus service interfaces.
Highlights
Cleaner, cooler, greener, cheaper—documented performance recovery across mixed fleets with standardized OEM procedure.
Application Cases
Line & Base Maintenance – On-wing cleaning to recover EGTHDM and reduce DFF across narrow- and wide-body fleets.
Troubleshooting & Reliability – Address N2 vibration excursions and combustor-swirler coking on affected engine programs.
Configuration Options
Safety & Operation
Licensed process with formal training reduces procedural variance and warranty exposure.
Perform the mandatory idle dry-out run within 24 hours; no plain-water rinse required.
Operate within limits: detergent 50–85 °C, ambient >5 °C; abort above 85 °C.
Pre-fill TGB oil for LEAP to prevent scuffing; follow SER steps precisely.
Cart instrumentation controls pressure/flow within specified ranges for safe operation.
Mobility & Transport
Execute indoors or outdoors using hangar utilities or generator/compressor alternatives.
Sequential two-engine washes fit typical night-halt maintenance windows.
Global field teams and 26 service centres support commissioning and preventive maintenance.
Durability & Corrosion Protection
Industrialized carts with serviceable components and local spares sustain high uptime.
Effluent is fully captured and pumped to external waste containers to protect facilities.
Disposal per SDS and local regulations maintains environmental compliance and equipment integrity.
