RISEffects of Water-to-Air Mass Ratio on Long-Term Washing Efficiency and Erosion Risk in an Axial Compressor Under Online Washing Conditions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: One of the main reasons for gas turbines’ performance losses is the deposition of dirt on the compressor blades. Dirt deposit has to be periodically removed to keep the engine performance as high as possible. This is the ...
Numerical Prediction of Long-Term Droplet Erosion and Washing Efficiency of Axial Compressors Through the Use of a Discrete Mesh Morphing Approach
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Online water washing represents an operation strategy commonly used to reduce compressor performance deterioration due to blade fouling. Since this kind of washing is applied when the machine operates close to full load ...
