XI. OFF-LINE WATER WASH TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
The following technical requirements must be met to conduct an off-line water wash from the water wash
skid, to interface with the turbine control panel:
I. Off-line washing solution must meet the Quality Specification of Table 1 and the detergent
concentrate must meet the requirements of Appendix I.
2. Water Wash Skid outlet shall meet the flow, pressure, and temperature requirements defined in the
Piping Schematic Diagram (MU 0442).
3. The initial setting ofthe supply pressure and thus flow to the off-line spray nozzles, shall be properly
adjusted by the customer. During off-line water wash operation, the customer is to adjust the manual
tuning valve to the required pressure requirements as established by the Piping Schematic Diagram
(MU 0442). The following procedures can be followed to compensate for head pressure difference
between the pressure gauge and engine centerline.
4. Pressure "P" can be determined at site using the following equation, P = 85 PSIG + 0.43 x A, Where:
A= B- C, Which is the elevation difference between engine centerline and gauge centerline in feet.
a. Dimension "B" is found on MU 0306 (Mechanical Outline Drawing).
b. Dimension "c" is site specific and can be determined at site by measuring from the centerline of
the pressure gauge to the equipment base line.
5. Prior to installing the off-line nozzles and using the water wash system for the first time in the field,
a preliminary flushing procedure shall be performed on the water wash supply lines to free the
system of burs, dust, weId fragments, etc. The flushing recommendations may be found in
363A4220, "Water Washing Flushing Procedure."
6. Prior to initiating the off-line water wash, the bell mouth, struts, and IGV's should first be hand
cleaned to prevent these deposits from being washed into the compressor during the cleaning. Refer
to procedure 361A6297, "Water Washing Hand Cleaning Procedure."
7. The Turbine Control Panel shall be cycling valve VAI6-1, via solenoid driver 20TW-4. The valve
will open and close during the off-line water wash and rinse cycles.
8. Interface points from the Water Wash Skid or MU 0461, shall be checked at a minimum for the
following:
a. Piping connection to Purchaser Connection WWI on MU 0442.
