Cleaning of the Engine Gaspath
WARNING:
BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU DO WORK ON THE ENGINE AFTER SHUTDOWN. THE ENGINE CAN STAY HOT FOR A LONG TIME. IF YOU DO NOT OBEY THIS INSTRUCTION, INJURY CAN OCCUR.
WARNING:
BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU USE CONSUMABLE MATERIALS. OBEY THE MATERIAL MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS AND YOUR LOCAL REGULATIONS.
WARNING:
THERE IS A POSSIBLE HEALTH RISK TO PERSONNEL WHO DO MAINTENANCE TASKS AFTER A BIRD STRIKE. THE SAFETY MEASURES THAT FOLLOW ARE RECOMMENDED:
- USE DISPOSABLE GLOVES.
- USE CUT RESISTANT GLOVES OVER THE DISPOSABLE GLOVES.
- USE A DISPOSABLE COVERALL IF THERE IS A RISK OF BODY CONTACT WITH THE BIRD REMAINS (ORGANIC MATTER) DURING FEATHER COLLECTION OR ENGINE CLEANING.
- DO NOT USE PRESSURIZED AIR OR WATER TO CLEAN THE PARTS WHICH WERE IN CONTACT WITH THE BIRD.
- REMOVE THE BIRD REMAINS AND PUT THEM IN A PLASTIC BAG.
- DO NOT TOUCH YOUR FACE, EYES, NOSE, ETC. WITH YOUR GLOVES.
- REMOVE THE GLOVES AND THE DISPOSABLE COVERALL AND PUT THEM IN THE SAME PLASTIC BAG AS THE REMAINS. SEAL THE BAG.
- DISCARD THE BAG AS YOU DO FOR USUAL GARBAGE.
- CAREFULLY WASH YOUR HANDS WITH SOAP AND WATER.
CAUTION:
REFER TO SPOP 425 FOR ENGINES THAT GOT FIRE EXTINGUISHING AGENTS, HYDRAULIC FLUID, OIL OR FUEL ON THE GASPATH.
CAUTION:
DO NOT USE THIS WATER WASH PROCEDURE IF THE AMBIENT AIR TEMPERATURE IS LESS THAN 40°F (4.4°C) WITHOUT ALCOHOL IN THE WATER. IF YOU DO NOT ADD ALCOHOL, ICE CAN FORM AND CAUSE ENGINE DAMAGE.
CAUTION:
DO NOT USE THIS WATER WASH PROCEDURE (WITH OR WITHOUT DETERGENTS) FOR ENGINES WITH DRY CHEMICAL POWDER FIRE EXTINGUISHING AGENTS IN THE GASPATH. THESE AGENTS ARE NOT WATER SOLUBLE. IF YOU DO WATER WASH THE ENGINE WITH THESE AGENTS IN THE GASPATH, THE AGENTS WILL STICK OR CAKE ON THE SURFACES OF THE GASPATH PARTS.
ZONE: 400

E. Water Wash
P11-021 cleaner, gaspath (detergent-type) (Ref. AMM TASK 70-27-00-910-803).
(2) Dry-motoring of the engine:
(3) Check that the N2 RPM is above 20 percent during the water flow.
(6) Stop the dry-motoring of the engine (Ref. AMM TASK 71-00-00-860-817).
(7) Wait approximately five minutes.
(8) Do Steps 4.E.(1) thru 4.E.(8) again for a total of three times.
(11) Loosen the three hand knobs and adjust the two nozzle extension springs on each nozzle.
(12) Remove the two nozzles from engine and thrust reverser or test cell equipment.
(13) Open the left and right-side fan cowl-doors (Ref. AMM TASK 71-13-00-010-802).
Subtask 72-00-00-110-092-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL CAUTION:
DO NOT USE THIS WATER WASH PROCEDURE IF THE AMBIENT AIR TEMPERATURE IS LESS THAN 40°F (4.4°C) WITHOUT ALCOHOL IN THE WATER. IF YOU DO NOT ADD ALCOHOL, ICE CAN FORM AND CAUSE ENGINE DAMAGE.
(1) For water wash with a cleaning solution, prepare 30 USgal (113.56 l) of (2) Dry-motoring of the engine:
CAUTION:
DO NOT START THE WATER FLOW INTO THE GASPATH IF THE EGT IS ABOVE 150 DEG. F (66 DEG.C). IF YOU START THE WATER FLOW WITH THE EGT ABOVE 150 DEG.F (66 DEG.C), THE WATER WILL EVAPORATE FROM THE HOT SURFACES AND WILL NOT CORRECTLY CLEAN THE SURFACES.
CAUTION:
DO NOT OPERATE THE STARTER FOR MORE THAN ITS DUTY CYCLE. IF YOU DO, YOU CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE STARTER.
(a) Dry-motor the engine (Ref. AMM TASK 71-00-00-860-817). (3) Check that the N2 RPM is above 20 percent during the water flow.
NOTE: The engine RPM will decrease as water is flowed into gaspath.
(4) Turn the handle of the PWA83298 DISTRIBUTOR-WATER WASH to start water flow. Flow of water should be approximately 10 USgal (37.85 l) per minute. The PWA83298 DISTRIBUTOR-WATER WASH should be opened to the marks that were made during the calculation of flow. CAUTION:
STOP THE WATER FLOW BEFORE YOU STOP THE DRY-MOTORING. IF YOU DO NOT OBEY THIS INSTRUCTION, THE RISK OF WATER CONTAMINATION IN THE OIL SYSTEM WILL INCREASE AND DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE CAN OCCUR.
(5) Stop the flow of water after approximately 45 seconds.(6) Stop the dry-motoring of the engine (Ref. AMM TASK 71-00-00-860-817).
(7) Wait approximately five minutes.
(8) Do Steps 4.E.(1) thru 4.E.(8) again for a total of three times.
NOTE: If water flow from the tail pipe is dirty, additional benefit may be gained by additional wash. The operator may elect to repeat the wash procedure at their discretion.

I. Procedure after the Water Wash
(1) Get a post-water-wash engine-oil quantity-measurement as follows:
(a) Close the left and right-side thrust-reverser cowl-doors (Ref. AMM TASK 78-36-00-410-802).
(b) Close the left and right-side fan cowl-doors (Ref. AMM TASK 71-13-00-410-802).
(c) Dry-motor the engine with the starter (Ref. AMM TASK 71-00-00-860-817).
1 Use approximately the same percentage of N2 speed as the pre-water wash sample.
(d) Open the oil tank access-door at approximately 9 o'clock position.
(e) Check the oil quantity measurement after approximately 30 seconds.
(f) Close the oil tank access-door.
(2) Start the engine (normal automatic start) (Ref. AMM TASK 71-00-00-860-823).
(a) Run the engine at minimum idle for ten minutes.
(3) Shut down the engine (normal engine stop procedure) (Ref. AMM TASK 71-00-00-860-814).
(4) Open the oil tank access-door.
(5) Check the post-wash oil sample for water contamination as follows:
(a) If the engine is sent back to service in less than 12 hours, step 4.J.(5) is not necessary.
(b) If a power assurance test is done in less than 12 hours, step 4.J.(5) is not necessary (Ref. AMM TASK 71-00-00-710-806).
(c) If the engine is not going back to service in less than 12 hours, do the steps that follow:
1 Collect a 4.0 oz (113.40 g) sample of engine oil in the BOTTLE - SAMPLE (Ref. AMM TASK 79-00-00-281-804).
2 Mark the BOTTLE - SAMPLE as "Post-Water Wash" with theP05-472 marker - high purity, black, trace element certified .
3 Hold the oil samples collected pre-water wash and post-water wash, side by side, and up to a light source.
a Examine the color of the oil samples, look for a lighter color (a possible milky appearance).
(d) Close the oil tank access-door.
(6) Make a record of the engine oil quantity (Ref. AMM TASK 79-00-00-610-801):
(a) If the post-water-wash oil quantity does not increase by two quarts (two liters) or more and the visual comparison of the oil does not show significant change in the color shading, the oil will be considered to be free of water contamination.
(b) If the oil quantity increases by two quarts (two liters) or more, or if the visual comparison of oil shows a change in color shading or beads of water, then the oil system will be considered contaminated by water.
1 If oil is considered contaminated by water because of the oil quantity increase but the oil color comparison is acceptable, a second oil sample may be made after an additional ten minutes idle run.
2 Repeat the contamination check after the second run.
(7) For engines that show water contamination, service the oil system as follows:
(a) Drain the engine oil system (Ref. AMM TASK 79-00-00-680-801).
(b) Fill the engine oil system (Ref. AMM TASK 79-00-00-610-801).

1 Use approximately the same percentage of N2 speed as the pre-water wash sample.
(d) Open the oil tank access-door at approximately 9 o'clock position.
(e) Check the oil quantity measurement after approximately 30 seconds.
NOTE: Oil quantity may vary slightly from the pre-water wash oil-quantity.
1 If there is a large difference in oil quantity, check the oil quantity (Ref. AMM TASK 79-00-00-610-801).(f) Close the oil tank access-door.
(2) Start the engine (normal automatic start) (Ref. AMM TASK 71-00-00-860-823).
(a) Run the engine at minimum idle for ten minutes.
NOTE: This is to evaporate any water or cleaner from the oil system during the gaspath cleaning procedure.
1 If the engine/aircraft will be out-of-service for more than 24 hours, run the engine until the main oil temperature is 220 deg.F (104.44 deg.C) for at least two minutes.(3) Shut down the engine (normal engine stop procedure) (Ref. AMM TASK 71-00-00-860-814).

- If you are not sure if you can see a color change between the two samples, let the post-water wash sample become stable for 30 minutes.
(d) Close the oil tank access-door.
(6) Make a record of the engine oil quantity (Ref. AMM TASK 79-00-00-610-801):
(a) If the post-water-wash oil quantity does not increase by two quarts (two liters) or more and the visual comparison of the oil does not show significant change in the color shading, the oil will be considered to be free of water contamination.
(b) If the oil quantity increases by two quarts (two liters) or more, or if the visual comparison of oil shows a change in color shading or beads of water, then the oil system will be considered contaminated by water.
