TASK 72-00-00-100-028-A
Washing of the Engine Gas Path with Cleaning Agent


WARNING: BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU USE CONSUMABLE MATERIALS. OBEY THE MATERIAL MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS AND YOUR LOCAL REGULATIONS.
CAUTION: IF CLEANING AGENT IS USED, PROPER AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE CONFIGURATION, ENGINE RINSING AND POST ENGINE WASH TEST MUST BE COMPLETED TO PREVENT THE POSSIBILITY OF FUMES IN THE CABIN WHEN AIRCRAFT RESUMES REVENUE FLIGHT OPERATION.
FIN: 1000EM1 ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
FIN: 1000EM2 ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
1. Reason for the Job
Engine washing with cleaning agent is preferred when organic debris or oil deposits are present or remaining EGT margin is less than 5 deg. C.
NOTE: When cleaning agent is used, proper Aircraft Maintenance Configuration, engine rinsing and post engine wash test must be completed to prevent the possibility of fumes in the cabin when Aircraft resumes revenue flight operation.
NOTE: The engine bleed system must be operative prior to proceeding with engine washing with cleaning agent. Check that there is no failure message on the engine bleed system.

E. Engine Washing
CAUTION: DO NOT WASH AN ENGINE WHICH HAS BEEN EXPOSED TO DRY CHEMICAL FIRE EXTINGUISHING AGENTS.
CAUTION: DO NOT WASH AN ENGINE UNLESS THE EGT IS BELOW 150 DEG.F (66 DEG.C).
CAUTION: DO NOT WASH AN ENGINE AT TEMPERATURE BELOW 14 DEG.F (-10 DEG.C).
CAUTION: THE FUEL PUMP AND HYDRO-MECHANICAL UNIT (HMU) ARE FUEL LUBRICATED. DO NOT MOTOR, START, OR OPERATE ENGINE UNLESS A POSITIVE FUEL INLET PRESSURE IS INDICATED ON THE LOWER ECAM (FUEL SYSTEM PAGE). DAMAGE TO COMPONENTS MAY RESULT.
CAUTION: DO NOT EXCEED THE STARTER DUTY CYCLE. DAMAGE TO THE STARTER CAN OCCUR.
CAUTION: MAKE SURE THE N1 ROTOR TURNS FREELY THROUGHOUT WASHING TO PREVENT OIL SYSTEM CONTAMINATION.
CAUTION: DO NOT APPLY WATER AT MORE THAN 6 US GAL (23 LITERS) PER MINUTE. IF YOU DO, ENGINE DAMAGE CAN OCCUR.
   (1) Dry motor the engine for two minutes (Ref. AMM TASK 71-00-00-710-001) or do the water wash crank (Ref. AMM TASK 71-00-00-710-802).
NOTE: The water wash crank is an alternate procedure available for engine with FADEC Post 5BS2 software. This task will optimize the wash procedure and will put the valves in position better.
   (2) After 30 seconds in motoring, inject the cleaning solution at 1 o'clock position on the Low Pressure Compressor (LPC) inlet through the fan blades (or at the LP compressor inlet if a specific rig is used).
   (3) Stop the cleaning solution injection before the end of the engine motoring.
   (4) After two minutes in motoring, release the ENG/MAN START/1 (2) pushbutton switch.
   (5) Let the engine soak for 5 minutes.
   (6) Repeat steps (1) to (5) if extreme organic debris or oil deposits were present or if remaining EGT margin prior to the water wash was less than 10 deg. C.

F. Engine Rinsing
CAUTION: DO NOT RINSE THE ENGINE EXPOSED TO DRY CHEMICAL EXTINGUISHING AGENT. DO NOT RINSE THE ENGINE UNLESS THE EGT IS BELOW 150 DEG.F (66 DEG.C.). DO NOT RINSE THE ENGINE AT TEMPERATURE BELOW 14 DEG. F (-10 DEG.C.).
CAUTION: THE FUEL PUMP AND HYDRO-MECHANICAL UNIT (HMU) ARE FUEL LUBRICATED. DO NOT MOTOR, START, OR OPERATE ENGINE UNLESS A POSITIVE FUEL INLET PRESSURE IS INDICATED ON THE LOWER ECAM (FUEL SYSTEM PAGE). DAMAGE TO COMPONENTS MAY RESULT.
CAUTION: DO NOT EXCEED THE STARTER DUTY CYCLE. DAMAGE TO THE STARTER CAN OCCUR.
CAUTION: MAKE SURE THAT THE N1 ROTOR TURNS FREELY THROUGHOUT RINSING TO PREVENT OIL SYSTEM CONTAMINATION.
CAUTION: DO NOT APPLY WATER AT MORE THAN 6 US GAL (23 LITERS) PER MINUTE. IF YOU DO, ENGINE DAMAGE CAN OCCUR.
   (1) Dry motor the engine for two minutes (Ref. AMM TASK 71-00-00-710-001).
   (2) After 10 seconds in motoring with positive fan rotation, inject the water at 1 o'clock position on the Low Pressure Compressor (LPC) inlet through the fan blades (or at the LP compressor inlet if a specific rig is used).
   (3) Stop the water injection before the end of the engine motoring.
   (4) Let the engine soak for 5 minutes.
   (5) Dry motor the engine again for two minutes (Ref. AMM TASK 71-00-00-710-001).
   (6) After 10 seconds in motoring with positive fan rotation, inject the water, at 1 o'clock position on the Low Pressure Compressor (LPC) inlet through the fan blades (or at the LP compressor inlet if a specific rig is used).
   (7) Stop the water injection before the end of the engine motoring.
   (8) Let the engine soak for 5 minutes.
   (9) Dry motor the engine again for two minutes (Ref. AMM TASK 71-00-00-710-001).

H. Installation of PS3 Line and P25 Line (if installed)
WARNING: USE GOGGLES AND GLOVES WHEN YOU REMOVE OR INSTALL LOCKWIRE. EACH TIME YOU CUT LOCKWIRE, REMOVE AND DISCARD IT IMMEDIATELY. LOOSE LOCKWIRE CAN CUT YOU OR MAKE YOU BLIND, AND/OR CAN CAUSE DAMAGE.
CAUTION: DO NOT BLOW COMPRESSED AIR OR NITROGEN INTO THE ECU AS DAMAGE TO THE ECU CAN OCCUR.

J. Post-Engine Wash Test
NOTE: The aim of this post-engine wash test is:
  • To purge water from the oil system in order to prevent potential bearing/sump corrosion/deterioration
  • To prevent fumes in the cockpit and in the cabin when the airplane is put back into service.
   (1) On AIR COND panel 30VU, make sure that:
  • The OFF legends of the PACK 1 and the PACK 2 pushbutton switches are set to ON before you start the procedure.
  • The cross bleed valve rotary selector is in the OPEN position.
   (2) Start the engine within two hours (or 30 minutes if icing condition) of the last wash cycle to purge the lube/sump system of any water ingestion (Ref. AMM TASK 71-00-00-710-003).
NOTE: The APU Bleed Valve must be closed (the ON legend of the APU pushbutton switch is off) after the engine start, to avoid the supply of the air to the Wing Anti-Ice (WAI) systems from the APU.
NOTE: This engine run is done to ensure that the bleed system is free from contaminants. Smoke/smell in the cabin can result if contaminants enter the bleed system.
     (a) Let the engine run at idle for five minutes.
     (b) After five minutes from the engine start, do the following:
       1 Press the ANTI-ICE/ENG 1(2) pushbutton switch to operate the engine anti-ice system.
       2 Make sure that the ON legend of the ANTI-ICE/ENG 1(2) pushbutton switch comes on when the engine anti-ice system operates.
CAUTION: AFTER 30 MINUTES FROM ENGINES START, ANTI-ICE/ENG 1(2) PUSHBUTTON SWITCH SHOULD BE PRESSED OFF TO DEACTIVATE THE ENGINE ANTI-ICE SYSTEM. IF NOT, DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE COULD OCCUR.
       3 Press the ENG 1(2) BLEED pushbutton switch to operate the engine bleed system.
       4 Make sure that the OFF legend of the ENG 1(2) BLEED pushbutton switch goes off when the engine bleed anti-ice system operates.
       5 Press the ANTI-ICE/WING pushbutton switch to operate the WAI system.
       6 Make sure that the ON legend of the ANTI-ICE/WING pushbutton switch comes on when the WAI system operates.
       7 Increase and stabilize the engine thrust to at least 60 percent Fan (N1) Speed until High Pressure Valve (HPV) is closed while Pressure Regulating Valve (PRV) is open on the ECAM BLEED page.
       8 Make sure that the HPV is closed and the PRV is open on the ECAM BLEED page with the engine running at this speed.
     (c) Let the engine run this stabilized Fan (N1) Speed for ten minutes.
     (d) Pull the throttle to stabilize the engine thrust at idle for five minutes.
     (e) After 20 minutes from the engine start, do the following:
       1 Press the ANTI-ICE/ENG and ANTI-ICE/WING pushbutton switches to turn off both anti-ice systems.
       2 Make sure that the ON legends of the ANTI-ICE/ENG and ANTI-ICE/WING pushbutton switches go off.
       3 Turn the cross bleed valve rotary selector to the AUTO position.
       4 Press the PACK 1 (2) pushbutton switch to operate the air conditioning pack.
       5 Make sure that the OFF legend of the pushbutton switch goes off.
       6 Check for evidence of cleaning agent or anti-freeze mixture odor/smoke in the cabin.
