Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device, an arrangement and a method for cleaning the core engine of a jet engine.
  • Jet engines of commercial subsonic aircraft are nowadays predominantly so-called turbofan jet engines.
  • Such a turbofan engine has a so-called core engine, in which the actual combustion process of kerosene takes place.
  • the core engine has in a known manner one or more compressor stages, a combustion chamber, and one or more turbine stages in which the hot combustion gases give off part of their mechanical energy.
  • this mechanical energy is required for driving the compressor stages, and on the other hand, a so-called turbofan arranged upstream of the core engine is driven, which usually has a considerably larger diameter than the core engine and a considerable part of the air flowing through the engine as a whole as a so-called mantle or side airflow to flow past the Core Engine.
  • the turbofan brings about this shell air flow on a considerable part of the thrust of the engine, also ensures the high Mantel Kunststoffstromteil for better environmental performance of the engine, in particular a better efficiency at subsonic speeds, as well An improved noise reduction of the hot exhaust gas flow of the Core Engine.
  • Jet engines are contaminated during operation by combustion residues of the core engine as well as air pollutants sucked in with the combustion or shell air, such as dust, insects, salt mist or other environmental contaminants.
  • these impurities also form a coating on the rotor and / or stator blades of the compressor of the core engine, which impairs the surface quality and thus ultimately the thermodynamic efficiency of the engine.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a device, a method and an arrangement of the type mentioned, which allow an effective and efficient cleaning of the core engine of a jet engine.
  • the device according to the invention has a supply device, which provides cleaning medium, a nozzle device, which is designed to introduce the cleaning medium into the core engine, and a line connection between the supply device and the nozzle device.
  • the nozzle device comprises means for non-rotatable connection with the shaft of the fan of the jet engine, and that a Rotary coupling between the nozzle device and the line connection is provided.
  • jet engine means any mobile gas turbine for aerospace applications.
  • the term refers in particular to turbofan engines in which the actual gas turbine forms a so-called core engine and upstream of the core engine is arranged a larger diameter turbofan, which generates a fan airflow around the core engine.
  • core engine refers to the actual gas turbine of the jet engine, in which the combustion process of the fuel, in particular kerosene takes place.
  • Such a core engine typically includes one or more compressor stages, a combustor, and one or more turbine stages driven by the hot combustion gases.
  • the supply device provides cleaning medium available (for example, in one or more tanks) and can be provided with operating and drive devices, pumps, energy storage or the like. It is preferably designed as a mobile, in particular mobile unit.
  • the nozzle device has one or more nozzles for the cleaning medium and means explained below in more detail for the rotationally fixed connection of this nozzle device and thus of the nozzles with the shaft of the fan of the jet engine.
  • these nozzles are not stationary in the region of the inlet of the jet engine are arranged, but rotatably connected to the wave of the fan and thus can rotate with a slow spin of the engine without injecting kerosene (the so-called dry-cranking) with the fan.
  • the supply device and the nozzle device are connected to one another via a line connection.
  • This line connection is used in particular to supply the (preferably pressurized and possibly heated) cleaning medium to the nozzles of the nozzle device.
  • the line connection is preferably flexible and may in particular have a possibly pressure-resistant hose.
  • the line connection is connected by means of a rotary coupling to the nozzle device.
  • the term rotary joint is to be understood functionally and refers to any device which is suitable for producing a sufficiently stable, preferably pressure-resistant and liquid-tight connection between the stationary part of the line connection and the fan device co-rotating with the fan.
  • the purpose of the rotary joint is to direct the cleaning medium from the stationary supply device into the co-rotating nozzle device and then to let it out of the nozzles.
  • the invention enables a targeted cleaning of the core engine.
  • the dry-cranking nozzles spray the core engine inlet evenly over the entire circumference.
  • the co-rotating arrangement of the nozzles allows a targeted introduction of the cleaning medium in the flow direction behind the blades (blades) of the fan and thus an immediate brushing the core engine without being affected by the flow direction before arranged turbofan.
  • a substantial part of the cleaning medium strikes the blades of the fan and therefore can not or at least not directly contribute to the cleaning of the core engine.
  • the invention has recognized that the targeted cleaning of the core engine is essential for the desired improvement of the thermodynamic efficiency.
  • the invention has also recognized that a possibly desired additional cleaning of fan blades can be achieved much easier by an additional manual cleaning with hose and brush.
  • Brushing the fan blades as provided in the prior art, can not remove a significant portion of the impurities of the fan blades, as they sit increasingly on the back (pressure side) of the fan blades.

  • This means that the beam direction is not parallel to the axis of rotation, but forms an angle with this axis.
  • the beam direction deviates at this angle from the axial direction. It is preferable if this angle depends on the angle of attack of the front compressor blades of the core engine. As a rule, these are stator blades which, with a suitable setting of the beam angle to the setting angle of the flat jet can be partially passed through, so that it comes to a more effective cleaning of the behind it arranged parts of the Core Engine.
