  • System and method for treating an installed and assembled gas turbine engine
    Patent number: 11555413
    Abstract: Systems and methods for treating a component of an installed and assembled gas turbine engine are provided. Accordingly, the method includes operably coupling a delivery assembly to an annular inlet of a core gas turbine engine. A portion of treating fluid is atomized with the delivery assembly to develop a treating mist having a plurality of atomized droplets. The atomized droplets are suspended within any path of the core gas turbine engine from the annular inlet to an axial position downstream of a compressor of the core gas turbine engine. A portion of the treating mist is impacted or precipitated onto the component so as to wet the component, and a portion of the deposits on the component is dissolved by the treating mist.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 1, 2021
    Date of Patent: January 17, 2023
    Assignees: General Electric Company, Oliver Crispin Robotics Limited
    Inventors: Byron Andrew Pritchard, Jr., Keith Anthony Lauria, Erica Elizabeth Sampson, Bernard Patrick Bewlay, Ambarish Jayant Kulkarni, Michael Robert Millhaem, William Francis Navojosky, Nicole Jessica Tibbetts, Gongguan Wang, Andrew Crispin Graham

  • System and method for cleaning deposit from a component of an assembled, on-wing gas turbine engine
    Patent number: 11371425
    Abstract: Systems and methods for cleaning deposits from a component of an assembled, on-wing gas turbine engine are provided. Accordingly, the method includes operably coupling a delivery assembly to an annular inlet of a core gas turbine engine. A portion of cleaning fluid is atomized with the delivery assembly to develop a cleaning mist having a plurality of atomized droplets. The atomized droplets are suspended within any path of the core gas turbine engine from the annular inlet to an axial position downstream of a compressor of the core gas turbine engine. A portion of the cleaning mist is impacted or precipitated onto the component so as to wet the component, and a portion of the deposits on the component is dissolved by the cleaning mist.
