Estimating the term…
A hydrocarbon fluid containment article having a wall with a surface that is wetted by hydrocarbon fluid. The surface includes an anti-coking coating. The anti-coking coating includes a copper salt, a silver salt, or a combination thereof. A gas turbine engine component including a wall having a first surface and an anti-coking coating on the first surface of the wall that is wetted by hydrocarbon fluid. The anti-coking coating including a copper salt, a silver salt, or a combination thereof that prevents the formation of gum or coke on a surface thereon. Methods for reducing the deposition of thermal decomposition products on a wall of an article are also provided.
A hydrocarbon fluid containment article through which a hydrocarbon fluid flows, the hydrocarbon fluid containment article comprising:
A gas turbine engine component comprising:
A method for reducing deposition of thermal decomposition products on a wall of an article containing a hydrocarbon fluid at temperatures above 105° C. comprising, depositing an anti-coking coating on a first surface of the wall of the article that is wetted by the hydrocarbon fuel, the anti-coking coating comprising a copper salt, a silver salt, or a combination thereof, the hydrocarbon fluid contacting and flowing across the anti-coking coating, wherein the copper salt comprises copper (II) sulfate, copper (II) nitrate, copper (II) chloride, copper (II) chloride anhydrous, copper (II) chloride dihydrate, or combinations thereof.
