COMPRESSOR WASH
Available in 4 Litre Concentrate or 20 Litre Premixed, ready to use.
Engines are particularly at risk during takeoff and landing, and whilst operating in areas of pollution, sand, dust storms, etc. Helicopters operating nearer the ground are especially exposed.
The fouling can come from a wide variety of sources; hydrocarbons from fuel and lubricating oils; volcanic ash; pollen; marine aerosols; dust; smoke and pollution
The presence of hydrocarbons acts as a bonding agent for the solid contaminants, ‘gluing’ them to the compressor surfaces.
The build-up of contaminants on the compressor surfaces leads to a dramatic reduction in compressor efficiency, which gives rise to a loss of available power, increased fuel consumption and increased exhaust gas temperature.
These conditions can lead to flight delays, inspection failures and withdrawal from service, increased operating costs and safety compromises.
R-MC Compressor Cleaner is an environmentally safe concept in cleaning gas turbines.
It is biodegradable, nontoxic and non flammable.
R-MC meets all of the OEM and MIL-85704 specifications.
It can be injected without shutting down the engine and regular use removes layered deposits and discharges them as a fine white ash along with the exhaust gases.
R-MC is a unique combination of cationic, surface active agents in a water based carrier which has no harmful effect on fuels, lubricants or engine components.
As part of a normal maintenance program, R-MC can reduce fuel consumption, lower operating temperatures, restore the engine to optimum efficiency, and increase engine life.
- Unique deionized water-based formulation of surface active agents
- Inhibits contamination while cleaning compressor components
- No harmful interaction with fuels or lubricants
- Meets all OEM and MIL-85704 specifications
