Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft die Verwendung von Ferrocen und/oder Ferrocenderivaten als Zusatz (Additiv) zu Verbrennungsmotor-Kraftstoffen schwerer Qualität für hochverdichtende, selbstzündende Motoren.The invention relates to the use of ferrocene and / or ferrocene derivatives as an additive to heavy-duty internal combustion engine fuels for high-compression, self-igniting engines.
Ferrocen und seine Derivate sind aus der Literatur bekannt. Ferrocen und seine Herstellung wurden erstmals in Nature 168 (1951), Seite 1039 beschrieben. Seitdem sind Ferrocen und seine Derivate sowie entsprechende Herstellungsverfahren Gegenstand zahlreicher Patente gewesen, z. B. US 2 650 756, US 2 769 828, US 2 834 796, US 2 898 360, US 3 035 968, US 3 238 158 und US 3 437 634.Ferrocene and its derivatives are known from the literature. Ferrocene and its production were first described in Nature 168 (1951), page 1039. Since then, ferrocene and its derivatives and corresponding manufacturing processes have been the subject of numerous patents, e.g. B. US 2,650,756, US 2,769,828, US 2,834,796, US 2,898,360, US 3,035,968, US 3,238,158 and US 3,437,634.
Es ist ebenfalls aus der Patentliteratur bekannt, daß Ferrocen Verbrennungsprozesse begünstigen kann. Die DE 34 18 648 nennt neben vielen anderen Verbindungen auch Ferrocen (Dicyclopentadienyleisen) als ein mögliches Additiv, um die Verbrennung von Heizöl zu optimieren, d. h. die Förderung des Heizöls durch den Brenner zu erleichtern und die vollständige Verbrennung des Heizöls zu begünstigen.It is also known from the patent literature that ferrocene can promote combustion processes. DE 34 18 648 mentions, among many other compounds, ferrocene (dicyclopentadienyl iron) as a possible additive in order to optimize the combustion of heating oil, i. H. to facilitate the delivery of the heating oil by the burner and to promote the complete combustion of the heating oil.
In der US 4 389 220 ist ein Verfahren zur Konditionierung eines Dieselmotors beschrieben. Hierzu werden dem Dieselkraftstoff 20 bis 30 ppm Ferrocen zugefügt. Dadurch sollen kohlenstoffhaltige Ablagerungen im Verbrennungsraum entfernt und deren Neubildung vermieden werden. Gleichzeitig wurde gefunden, daß durch diese Maßnahmen der Kraftstoffverbrauch pro gefahrene Strecke bis zu 5 % geringer ist. Unter Dieselkraftstoff wird hier ein Kraftstoff verstanden, der nach ASTM als "No. 2 fuel oil" bekannt ist. Ein derartiger Kraftstoff ist ein Mitteldestillat des Erdölraffinerieprozesses und ist unter der Bezeichnung "Diesel" an Tankstellen erhältlich. Damit werden üblicherweise die 4-Takt-Dieselmotoren von Straßenfahrzeugen betrieben z.B. PKW, Busse, LKW. Der genannte Kraftstoff entspricht der DIN 51601 und ist in seiner Qualität ähnlich dem Heizöl EL. Er ist somit ein Kraftstoff leichter bis mittlerer Qualität.No. 4,389,220 describes a method for conditioning a diesel engine. For this purpose, 20 to 30 ppm ferrocene are added to the diesel fuel. This is intended to remove carbon-containing deposits in the combustion chamber and to prevent them from forming again. At the same time, it was found that these measures reduce fuel consumption by up to 5% per route traveled. Diesel fuel is understood here to mean a fuel which is known as "No. 2 fuel oil" according to ASTM. Such a fuel is a middle distillate of the petroleum refining process and is available under the name "Diesel" at petrol stations. This means that the 4-stroke diesel engines of road vehicles are usually operated, eg cars, buses, trucks. The named fuel corresponds to DIN 51601 and is similar in quality to the heating oil EL. It is therefore a light to medium quality fuel.
Für große Motoren mit niedriger Drehzahl von 900 bis 50 U/min, wie sie z.B. in Schiffen oder Stromerzeugungsanlagen verwendet werden, werden Kraftstoffe schwererer Qualität verwendet. Hier besteht das Problem, daß nachgeschaltete Aggregate in ihrer Funktion durch kohlenstoffhaltige Ablagerungen beeinträchtigt werden. Derartige Aggregate sind insbesondere Turbolader sowie Wärmeaustauscher. Aber auch Ablagerungen an Ventilen, Kolbenringen sowie im Verbrennungsraum sind unerwünscht, da sie zu einer Minderung der Motorleistung und/oder zu einem erhöhten Verschleiß der betroffenen Teile führen können.For large engines with a low speed of 900 to 50 rpm, such as used in ships or power plants, heavier quality fuels are used. The problem here is that downstream units are impaired in their function by carbon-containing deposits. Such units are in particular turbochargers and heat exchangers. Deposits on valves, piston rings and in the combustion chamber are also undesirable, since they can lead to a reduction in engine performance and / or to increased wear on the affected parts.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, die genannten Ablagerungen zu minimierem bzw. deren Entfernung zu erleichtern.The object of the invention is to minimize the deposits mentioned or to facilitate their removal.
Erfindungsgemäß wurde diese Aufgabe gelöst durch die Verwendung von Ferrocen und/oder Ferrocenderivaten als Zusatz (Additiv) in einer Konzentration von 1-100 ppm zu Verbrennungsmotor-Kraftstoffen schwerer Qualität für hochverdichtende, selbstzündende Motoren.According to the invention, this object has been achieved by using ferrocene and / or ferrocene derivatives as an additive in a concentration of 1-100 ppm to heavy-quality internal combustion engine fuels for high-compression, self-igniting engines.
Gerade beim Betreiben solcher großen Motoren mit schwerenTreibstoffen hat sich eine Ferrocen-Additivierung überraschenderweise als besonders günstig erwiesen. Dies gilt vor allen Dingen für relativ große Motoren, also solche mit einer Gesamtleistung von 400 bis 100 000, vorzugsweise 15 000 bis 50 000, insbesondere mehr als 30.000 kW.Especially when operating such large engines with heavy fuels, a ferrocene additive has surprisingly proven to be particularly cheap. This applies above all to relatively large motors, that is to say those with a total output of 400 to 100,000, preferably 15,000 to 50,000, in particular more than 30,000 kW.
Je schwerer der Kraftstoff, desto eher ergeben sich in der Regel Probleme mit den genannten Ablagerungen. Bei diesen Kraftstoffen hat sich überraschend eine Additivierung mit Ferrocen als besonders wirksam heraus gestellt. Dies war umso weniger zu erwarten gewesen als bekannt war, daß Ferrocen sehr wirksam bei der Verbrennungsverbesserung von leichtem Heizöl aber weniger wirksam bei schwerem Heizöl ist.The heavier the fuel, the more likely there are problems with the deposits mentioned. With these fuels, an additivation with ferrocene has surprisingly been found to be particularly effective. This was all the less to be expected since it was known that ferrocene is very effective in improving the combustion of light heating oil but less effective in heavy heating oil.
Insbesondere für Qualitäten, die üblicherweise als Marine-Heizöl, "Bunker C"-Qualität, Marine-Dieselkraftstoff bzw. dest. Marine-Dieselkraftstoff bezeichnet werden, ist die erfindungsgemäße Verwendung vorteilhaft. Wie anhand der Namen der Treibstoffqualitäten unschwer erkennbar, werden diese hauptsächlich zum Betreiben von .marinen Motoren verwendet.Especially for qualities that are usually used as marine heating oil, "bunker C" quality, marine diesel fuel or dest. Are referred to marine diesel fuel, the use according to the invention is advantageous. As can easily be seen from the names of the fuel qualities, these are mainly used to operate .marine engines.
Die in Frage kommenden Kraftstoffe können beispielsweise Rückstände aus der atmosphärischen Rohöldestillation, aus der Vakuumdestillation oder aus einem katalytischen Cracker sein. Die Dichte dieser Kraftstoffe liegt insbesondere im Bereich zwischen 0,9 und 1,0 kg/dm3. Genauer klassifizieren lassen sich diese Kraftstoffe anhand der ISO 82 17. Die Kraftstoffe werden dort in zwei Klassen, sogenannte destillierte Marine-Kraftstoffe (Marine Destillate Fuels) und sogenannte schwere Rückstandskraftstoffe (Heavy Residual Fuels) unterschieden. Erstere erhalten eine DM-Typenbezeichnung und letztere eine RM-Typenbezeichnung. Einige Typen sind nachstehend exemplarisch mit ihren wichtigsten Eigenschaften wie Dichte, Viskosität, Schwefelgehalt und Kohlenstoffrückstand aufgeführt.
Alle DM- und RM-Typen sind im Sinne der vorliegenden Erfindung als Kraftstoffe einsetzbar.All DM and RM types can be used as fuels in the sense of the present invention.
Viele Schiffsmotoren von hochseetauglichen Großschiffen sind 2-Takt-Motoren. Für diese ist die Erfindung in besonderem Maß geeignet. Allerdings lassen sich auch bei 4-Takt-Motoren gute Ergebnisse durch die erfindungsgemäße Additivierung erzielen. In beiden Fällen handelt es sich um langsam laufende Motoren, die eine Drehzahl von 900 bis 50, vorzugsweise 200 bis 50 Umdrehungen/min, insbesondere eine maximale Drehzahl von 100 Umdrehungen/min. und weniger aufweisen.Many marine engines of large ships suitable for high seas are 2-stroke engines. The invention is particularly suitable for these. However, good results can also be achieved with 4-stroke engines by means of the additives according to the invention. In both cases, the motors are slow-running and have a speed of 900 to 50, preferably 200 to 50 revolutions / min, in particular a maximum speed of 100 revolutions / min. and have less.
Gute Ergebnisse wurden mit einer Ferrocenadditivierung von 1 bis 100 ppm erzielt. Bei einer Additivierung unter 1 ppm sind die Effekte nicht so deutlich, daß man von einer wesentlichen Verbesserung gegenüber einem nicht additivierten Kraftstoff sprechen könnte. Bei einem Additivgehalt über 100 ppm ist eine Grenze erreicht, bei der eine zusätzliche Additivierung keine nennenswerten zusätzlichen Effekte bewirkt. In der Regel wird ein Bereich von 5 bis 50 ppm bevorzugt. Ein optimaler Bereich liegt zwischen 10 bis 30 ppm. Die Additivierung kann z. B. dadurch erfolgen, daß das Additiv in einem Teil des Kraftstoffes gelöst wird und diese Lösung dann z. B. über eine Dosierpumpe dem Hauptstrom des Kraftstoffes wieder zugeführt wird.Good results have been achieved with a ferrocene additive of 1 to 100 ppm. When the additives are below 1 ppm, the effects are not so clear that one could speak of a significant improvement over a non-additive fuel. With an additive content of over 100 ppm, a limit has been reached at which an additional additive does not produce any noteworthy additional effects. Typically a range of 5 to 50 ppm is preferred. An optimal range is between 10 to 30 ppm. The additives can e.g. B. done in that the additive is dissolved in part of the fuel and then this solution z. B. is fed back via a metering pump the main flow of fuel.
Anstelle von Ferrocen können zumindest teilweise auch Ferrocenderivate eingesetzt werden. Ferrocenderivate sind solche Verbindungen, bei denen ausgehend von Ferrocengrundkörper sich an einem oder beiden Cyclopentadienyl-Ringen weitere Substituenten befinden. Als Beispiele seien genannt Ethylferrocen, Butylferrocen, Acetylferrocen und 2,2-bis-Ethylferrocenylpropan.Instead of ferrocene, ferrocene derivatives can also be used, at least in part. Ferrocene derivatives are compounds in which, starting from the base of ferrocene, there are further substituents on one or both cyclopentadienyl rings. Examples include ethylferrocene, butylferrocene, acetylferrocene and 2,2-bis-ethylferrocenylpropane.
Erfindungsgemäß werden die aus dem eingesetzten Kraftstoff schwerer Qualität aber auch die aus dem Schmieröl stammenden Ablagerungen wirksam reduziert.According to the invention, the heavy quality from the fuel used but also the deposits originating from the lubricating oil are effectively reduced.
Durch die Ablagerungen werden die nachgeschalteten Aggregate wie Turbolader und Wärmetauscher als auch Motorteile wie Ventile und Kolbenringe teilweise in erheblichem Umfang in ihrer Funktionsweise beeinträchtigt. Um die Ablagerungen zu entfernen, muß oftmals erheblicher Aufwand getrieben werden. So ist es z.B. bei hochseetüchtigen Großschiffen üblich, zur Reinigung der nachgeschalteten Turbolader zerkleinerte Nußschalen oder auch Reis in den Abgasstrom einzublasen. Durch dieses sogenannte "softblasting" werden die Schaufelräder als auch der vorgeschaltete Düsenring von dem größten Teil der Ablagerungen befreit. Diese Prozedur wird üblicherweise täglich, bei Bedarf sogar zweimal am Tag durchgeführt und zwar bei voller Motorlast. Meistens ist jedoch diese Art der Reinigung nicht ausreichend. Deshalb wird zusätzlich etwa einmal pro Monat oder bei Bedarf auch öfter eine Wasserwäsche vorgenommen. Da diese Wäsche bei reduzierter Motorlast durchgeführt wird, ist damit auch immer ein Zeitverlust für das Schiff verbunden. Bei der Wäsche wird durch eine Düse Wasser vor dem Düsenring und den Schaufelrädern in den Abgasstrom eingeleitet. Diese Wasserwäsche bedeutet eine hohe Belastung für den Turbolader u. a. durch die thermische Schockwirkung. Deshalb wird versucht diese Wasserwäsche auf ein Minimum zu beschränken. Der normale Zeitbedarf für eine solche Wäsche beträgt etwa 2 bis 3 Std.. Man orientiert sich dabei einfach an der Sauberkeit des Wassers nach den Spülvorgängen. Dabei ist üblicherweise das Waschwasser 1 bis 2 Std. lang deutlich erkennbar stark verschmutzt. Durch die erfindungsgemäße Verwendung von Ferrocen-additiviertem Kraftstoff wird sowohl das "softblasting" als auch die Wasserwäsche im allgemeinen überflüssig. Das schont die betroffenen Aggregate ohne Funktionseinschränkung und spart Zeit und Arbeit.Deposits of the downstream units such as turbochargers and heat exchangers as well as engine parts such as valves and piston rings are partially impaired in their functionality. In order to remove the deposits, considerable effort is often required. For example, in large ocean-going ships, it is customary to blow crushed nut shells or rice into the exhaust gas stream to clean the downstream turbocharger. This so-called "soft blasting" removes most of the deposits from the paddle wheels and the upstream nozzle ring. This procedure is usually carried out daily, and even twice a day if necessary, with full engine load. However, this type of cleaning is usually not sufficient. For this reason, a water wash is also carried out about once a month or more often if necessary. Since this washing is carried out with a reduced engine load, there is always a loss of time for the ship. When washing, water is introduced into the exhaust gas flow through a nozzle in front of the nozzle ring and the paddle wheels. This water wash means a high load for the turbocharger, among other things due to the thermal shock effect. That is why tries to keep this water wash to a minimum. The normal time required for such a wash is about 2 to 3 hours. You simply orient yourself on the cleanliness of the water after the rinsing processes. The wash water is usually clearly soiled for 1 to 2 hours. The use of ferrocene-additized fuel according to the invention generally makes both "soft blasting" and water washing superfluous. This protects the affected units without functional restrictions and saves time and work.
Wenn die Turbolader durch Ablagerungen in ihrer Funktionsweise beinträchtigt sind, können eine Reihe von Problemen auftreten. Die Effektivität der Turbolader und damit letztendlich auch der gesamten Maschine verringert sich, so daß ein höherer Kraftstoffverbrauch resultiert. Durch die Ablagerungen kann es zu einem Absinken der Drehzahl, in Extremfällen bis zum Stillstand eines oder mehrerer Schaufelräder des Turboladers kommen. Bei Maschinen mit Mehrfachturboladern werden die Schaufelräder mit Abgas aus einem gemeinsamen Abgas-"receiver", der die Abgase aus mehreren Zylindern zusammenführt, versorgt. Wenn das Gas ungleichmäßig verteilt wird, bedingt durch den unterschiedlichen Strömungswiderstand, der wiederum durch die Ablagerung bedingt ist, so kann ein Absinken in der Drehzahl, ein Schwanken der Drehzahl bzw. eine erhebliche Drehzahldifferenz zwischen den gekoppelten Turboladern oder gar ein Stillstand erfolgen. Die vorgenannten auf Ablagerungen zurückzuführenden Probleme können zu einer vorzeitigen Materialermüdung bzw. im Extremfall zu Materialbruch führen. Bei besonders starken Ablagerungen kann dies ebenfalls bei kleineren Maschinen auftreten, die nicht mit Mehrfachturbolader ausgestattet sind. Unregelmäßigkeiten in der Drehzahl, also unregelmäßiger Lauf, kann zu sehr starken Vibrationen führen, die bereits nach kurzer Zeit an Lagern und anderen Maschinenteilen zu Materialschäden führen können.A number of problems can arise if the turbochargers are affected by deposits. The effectiveness of the turbocharger and ultimately also of the entire machine is reduced, so that higher fuel consumption results. The deposits can cause the speed to drop, in extreme cases, to the standstill of one or more blade wheels of the turbocharger. In machines with multi-turbochargers, the paddle wheels are supplied with exhaust gas from a common exhaust gas "receiver" which combines the exhaust gases from several cylinders. If the gas is distributed unevenly due to the different flow resistance, which in turn is due to the deposition, a drop in speed, a fluctuation in speed or a significant speed difference between the coupled turbochargers or even standstill can occur. The aforementioned problems due to deposits can lead to premature material fatigue or, in extreme cases, to material breakage. With particularly heavy deposits, this can also occur with smaller machines that are not equipped with multi-turbochargers. Irregularities in the speed, i.e. irregular running, can lead to very strong vibrations, which after a short time can lead to material damage to bearings and other machine parts.
Ungleichmäßige Ablagerungen an den Schaufelrädern führen zwar nicht unbedingt zu einem Absinken der Drehzahl bzw. zu Drehzahldifferenzen bei Mehrfachturboladern aber durch unrunden Lauf ebenfalls zu unerwünschten Vibrationen, die auch Ursache für einen erhöhten Verschleiß sein können.Uneven deposits on the bucket wheels do not necessarily lead to a drop in the speed or speed differences in multi-turbochargers, but also to undesired vibrations due to non-circular running, which can also be the cause of increased wear.
Auch in den nachgeschalteten Wärmaustauschern ist ohne die erfindungsgemäße Additivierung festzustellen, daß sich an den Wärmeaustauscherflächen Ablagerungen bilden, die in Abhängigkeit von ihrer Stärke den Wärmeaustausch behindern. Auch diese überwiegend Ruß enthaltenen Ablagerungen müssen von Zeit zu Zeit durch eine Wasserwäsche, ggf. mit reinigenden Zusätzen, z. B. CuCl2-Lösung, entfernt werden. Durch die erfindungsgemäße Verwendung ferrocenadditivierter Kraftstoffe wird die Bildung von Ablagerungen sehr stark herabgesetzt. Wird nach einem, im Gegensatz zum bisherigen Stand der Technik, wesentlich längeren Zeitraum doch eine Wasserwäsche notwendig (z. B. im Trockendock), so wurde überraschenderweise festgestellt, daß sich die Ablagerungen nach Betrieb mit erfindungsgemäß additiviertem Kraftstoff wesentlich leichter entfernen lassen. Dies ist möglicherweise auf eine geänderte Zusammensetzung der Ablagerungen zurückzuführen. Es wurde festgestellt, daß diese im Gegensatz zu einem Betrieb mit nicht additiviertem Kraftstoff höhere Aschegehalte, niedrigere Heizwerte und einen niedrigeren Kohlenstoffgehalt aufweisen. Es kann vermutet werden, daß diese Ablagerungen weniger hydrophob sind, da sie weniger ölige oder Öl-ähnliche Komponenten enthalten.Even in the downstream heat exchangers it can be determined without the additives according to the invention that deposits form on the heat exchanger surfaces form, which, depending on their strength, hinder the heat exchange. These deposits, which mainly contain soot, must be washed from time to time with water, if necessary with cleaning additives, e.g. B. CuCl 2 solution are removed. The use of ferrocene-additized fuels according to the invention greatly reduces the formation of deposits. If, in contrast to the prior art, a considerably longer period of time does require water washing (e.g. in a dry dock), it has surprisingly been found that the deposits can be removed much more easily after operation with fuel which has been additized according to the invention. This may be due to a change in the composition of the deposits. It was found that these have higher ash contents, lower calorific values and a lower carbon content in contrast to operation with non-additive fuel. It can be assumed that these deposits are less hydrophobic because they contain less oily or oil-like components.
Solche Wasserwäschen der Wärmeaustauscher bzw. des Boilers werden in der Regel spätestens alle zwei Jahre durchgeführt, wenn sich das Schiff zu vorgeschriebenen Wartungs- und Inspektionsarbeiten im Trockendock befindet. Zwischen zwei Trockendockaufenthalten sind jedoch normalerweise fünf bis sechs zusätzliche Wäschen notwendig. Diese können bei Anwendung der vorliegenden Erfindung entfallen.Such water washes of the heat exchanger or the boiler are usually carried out every two years at the latest when the ship is in the dry dock for prescribed maintenance and inspection work. Between two dry dock stays, however, five to six additional washes are usually necessary. These can be dispensed with when using the present invention.
Figur 1 zeigt schematisch den Abgasweg eines Schiffsmotors der genannten Größenordnung. Zu sehen ist der Motorblock (1) mit seinen insgesamt 10 Zylindern (2). Die Abgase aus jeweils 3 bzw. 4 Zylindern werden in einem sogenannten Abgas "Receiver" (3, 4, 5) zusammengeführt und den Turboladern (6, 7, 8) zugeführt. Die aus den Turboladern austretenden Abgasströme werden in einer Abgasleitung (9) zusammengeführt und strömen dann durch einen sogenannten Abgas-"Boiler" (10), in welchem sich Wärmeaustauscher befinden (11, 12, 13) mittels deren Hoch- Mittel- und Niederdruckdampf erzeugt werden kann. Die Abgase verlassen das System über den Schornstein (14).Figure 1 shows schematically the exhaust gas path of a ship's engine of the size mentioned. You can see the engine block (1) with its total of 10 cylinders (2). The exhaust gases from 3 or 4 cylinders are brought together in a so-called exhaust gas receiver (3, 4, 5) and fed to the turbochargers (6, 7, 8). The exhaust gas flows emerging from the turbochargers are brought together in an exhaust pipe (9) and then flow through a so-called exhaust gas "boiler" (10), in which heat exchangers (11, 12, 13) are generated by means of their high, medium and low pressure steam can be. The exhaust gases leave the system via the chimney (14).
Die Erfindung wurde auf einem Containerschiff mit den nachfolgend mitgeteilten Ergebnissen erfolgreich getestet.The invention was successfully tested on a container ship with the results reported below.
60.000 BRT
Nach erfolgreicher Anfahrphase wurden die Turbolader der Maschine dieses Schiffes gründlich durch "softblasting" und Wasserwäsche gereinigt. Etwa 3 Monate später wurde, ohne daß zwischenzeitliche Reinigungen vorgenommen wurden, eine Wasserwäsche durchgeführt. Diese Wasserwäsche war zwar technisch nicht notwendig, da die Turbolader zufriedenstellend arbeiteten, wurde aber durchgeführt, um Aufschluß über den Verschmutzungsgrad (Ablagerungen) zu gewinnen. Während nach dem bisherigen Stand der Technik täglich ein "softblasting" und etwa einmal monatlich eine Wasserwäsche durchgeführt werden mußten und bei dieser das gebrauchte Waschwasser 1 bis 2 Std. lang stark verschmutzt war, wurde hier fast 3 Monate (85 Tage) auf jegliche Reinigungsmaßnahme verzichtet und trotzdem war das Waschwasser von Beginn an klar. Dieses läßt darauf schließen, daß sich in dem genannten Zeitraum praktisch keine Ablagerungen gebildet haben. Selbst Stellen, die mit den sonst üblichen Reinigungsmethoden nicht erreichbar sind, zeigten keine oder deutlich reduzierte Schmutzbeläge.After a successful start-up phase, the turbochargers of the machine of this ship were thoroughly cleaned by "softblasting" and water washing. About 3 months later, water was washed without any intermediate cleaning. This water washing was not technically necessary because the turbochargers worked satisfactorily, but was carried out to gain information about the degree of contamination (deposits). Whereas, according to the prior art, "softblasting" and water washing had to be carried out daily and about once a month and the used washing water was heavily soiled for 1 to 2 hours, any cleaning measure was dispensed with here for almost 3 months (85 days) and yet the wash water was clear from the start. This suggests that practically no deposits have formed in the period mentioned. Even areas that cannot be reached with the usual cleaning methods showed no or significantly reduced dirt deposits.
Bei den Wärmeausstauschern war schon visuell festzustellen, daß sich deutlich weniger Ablagerungen gebildet hatten. Die gebildeten Ablagerungen ließen sich wesentlich einfacher und schneller als bisher durch Wasserwäsche entfernen.With the heat exchangers it was already possible to visually determine that significantly fewer deposits had formed. The deposits formed could be removed much more easily and quickly than before by water washing.
Auch an den Kolbenringen und Ventilen waren visuell keine Ablagerungen zu erkennen.There were also no visible deposits on the piston rings and valves.
