Definitions
- the invention relates to a device, an arrangement and a method for cleaning the core engine of a jet engine.
- turbofan jet engines Jet engines of commercial subsonic aircraft are now predominantly so-called turbofan jet engines.
- 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 compatibility 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 and by air pollutants drawn in with the combustion or shell air, such as dust, insects, salt mist or other environmental pollutants.
- 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 (for example in one or more tanks) and can be provided with operating and drive devices, pumps, energy storages 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. works are arranged, but rotatably connected to the shaft 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 serves in particular for the supply of 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 of the core engine without being affected by the upstream directionally rectified sheet (rule 91) ISA / EP arranged turbofan.
- the stationary arrangement of the nozzles in front of the fan in the prior art a substantial part of the cleaning medium impinges on 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 the Fanbla- des much easier by an additional manual
- Cleaning with hose and brush can be achieved.
- 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.
- the fan blades are cleaned with cleaning medium at the same time, dirt removed there as well as lubricants washed out in particular in the area of the blade root are introduced into the core engine and pollute them additionally.
- the mass distribution of the nozzle device is preferably rotationally symmetrical about its axis of rotation.

- the outlet opening of the nozzles is accordingly provided in the axial end region of the nozzle device pointing away from it, ie in the assembled state in the current-repellent end region.
- This arrangement allows the nozzles to be mounted on the shaft of the fan of a turbofan engine during assembly either through the interstices of the fan blades, so that they are located immediately in front of the core engine, or at least purposefully orient them so that they pass through Gap spaces between fanblades directly onto the core engine.
- the nozzles are preferably flat jet nozzles, but other shapes such as round jet nozzles or a combination of different nozzles may also be used.
- the beam plane is preferably oriented in the radial direction, i. it is spanned by two axes, one of which points in the radial direction. In this way, the rotating flat jet can particularly effectively cover substantially the entire area of the inlet of the core engine.
- the beam plane includes an angle of attack with the axis of rotation.
- 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 from the axial direction by this angle. 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, given a suitable setting of the jet winkeis to whose setting angle of the flat jet can be partially passed through, so that it comes to a more effective cleaning of the rear located parts of the Core Engine.
- the means for non-rotatable connection with the shaft of the fan of the jet engine preferably comprise fastening means for attachment to the fan blades such as suitably formed hooks, with which the nozzle means at the trailing edge (downstream) of the fan blades can be hooked.
- the nozzle device can have a device for substantially form-fitting placement on the shaft hub of the fan.
- Turbofan engines generally have a conically curved hub on the upstream shaft end of the turbofan shaft to improve the flow characteristics of the air.

- the device may have one or more ring parts, with which it can be placed on the shaft hub.
- these have a different diameter, the ange-
- ADJUSTED SHEET (RULE 91) ISA / EP fits the diameter of the shaft hub in the corresponding areas.
- two axially spaced rings of different diameters can be provided, with which the nozzle device is positioned and centered on the shaft hub.

- this device may have a sufficiently soft plastic or rubber coating or coating.
- Tensioning cables can preferably be provided for further fixing.
- the nozzle device can be centered by means of the ring parts on the shaft hub of the fan and then tensioned with tension cables which are fixed to the trailing edge of the fan blades.
- the spring means may be "provided for biasing the tension cables so that the nozzle device is pressed with a defined force to the shaft hub.
- tensioning cables are preferred (for example by means of hooks or clamping claws) on the fan blades, preferably on their
- Trailing edge attached.

- ADJUSTED SHEET (RULE 91) ISA / EP may have a heating device to provide tempered cleaning medium available.
- the supply device has at least two storage tanks, from which the nozzle device can optionally be fed. This has the advantage that after a cleaning process in a cleaning tank freshly filled cleaning medium can be heated to the desired temperature, while at the same time from the second cleaning tank another cleaning process is fed.
- the cleaning medium used may preferably be a liquid, in particular an aqueous liquid, or a dispersion of a liquid in a gaseous medium, in particular air. Preference is given to using an aqueous solution which, on leaving the nozzles, is atomized to give an aqueous dispersion in air. Further details will be described below in connection with the explanation of the method according to the invention.

- FIG. 1 shows a view of a nozzle device according to the invention from the front
- FIG. 2 shows a section through the plane B-B of Figure 1 of a nozzle device which is placed on the shaft nose of a fan ..;
- FIG 3 shows a section through the plane B-A of Figure 1 a nozzle device which is placed on the shaft nose of a fan ..;
- FIG. 4 shows a detail of FIG. 2, the rotary joint
- FIG. 5 shows a detail of FIG. 3, the rotary joint
- Fig. 6 Schematically the arrangement of the nozzles behind the plane of the fan blades.
- the nozzle device has two ring elements 1, 2, by means of which the nozzle device is placed on a shaft hub 3 of the fan of a jet engine (see FIGS. 2 and 3).
- the ring elements 1, 2 enclose the shaft hub 3 substantially in a form-fitting manner.
- the two ring elements 1, 2 are connected to one another by radial struts 4.
- a generally designated 5 rotary coupling is arranged at the upstream tip of the nozzle device (with respect to the flow direction of the engine). From this rotary joint extend two radially outwardly leading pressure lines 6, the two flat-jet nozzles 7 feed with cleaning medium.
- the two pressure lines 6 are in fluid communication via radial channels 8 and an axial channel 9 of the rotary coupling 5 with a supply line 10 which connects the rotary coupling to the supply unit, not shown in the drawing.
- the pressure lines 6 are fixed at the intersection points with the ring elements 1, 2 at these ring elements and thus part of the support structure of the entire nozzle device.
- tensioning cables are provided, which are hooked by means of hooks 12 at the trailing edges of the fan blade.
- the tensioning cables 11 are guided to the rotary coupling via tensioning cable guides 17 fastened to the rotary coupling, where they are fastened to an axially displaceable clamping ring 13.
- Compression springs 14 are based on an annular shoulder 15 of the rotary coupling and bring on the clamping ring 13 in a direction away from the annular shoulder 15 acting force. In the fitted state, the compression springs 14 bring a tension on the tensioning cables 11 and thus ensure a fixation of the nozzle device with the hub of the fan.
- a clamping nut 16 which sits on a thread of the coupling housing 18, the clamping ring 13 is moved upstream. As a result, a clamping force is transmitted to the tensioning cables 11 and thus produces a secure connection of the nozzle device with the hub of the fan.
- the nozzle device is placed on the shaft hub of the fan in the manner shown in particular in FIGS. 2 and 3 and fixed to the fan blades by means of the hooks 12. The engine is rotated
- FIG. 6 it can be seen that the exit plane of the nozzles 7 lies in the axial direction of the engine behind the radial plane of the turbofan 19, which is indicated at 18. Therefore, a defined and undisturbed spraying into the core engine 20 is possible. According to the invention, therefore, substantially smaller amounts of cleaning medium (in particular washing liquid) can be used than in the prior art. This reduction in the amount of fluid prevents liquid from entering the control lines of the engine that transmit air pressure from the compressor area to drive the fuel regulator. Furthermore, contamination of the engine oil with cleaning fluid is avoided.
- cleaning medium in particular washing liquid
- control lines - unlike in the prior art - are not separated or opened before the engine wash begins. A running of the engine after a wash and subsequent reconnection of the control lines is therefore not required.
