Abstract
A stator aerodynamic component is disclosed to be placed inside a flow path of a working fluid of a turbomachine; the component has one or more nozzles for ejecting a liquid into the flow path; the liquid to be ejected comes from a duct internal to the component and in fluid communication with a pipe that is external to the component. Also disclosed is a method for cleaning a turbomachine by ejecting a washing liquid from one or more one stator aerodynamic components.
Claims25
A stator aerodynamic component to be placed inside a flow path of a working fluid of a turbomachine, the component comprising:
- a duct arranged to receive a liquid from a pipe, and
- one or more nozzles fluidly connected to said duct and arranged to eject liquid into said flow path;
- wherein the component further comprises a removable part, and wherein said one or more nozzles are located in said removable part.
