Go Green and Keep Engines Clean
Clean aircraft engines operate efficiently, so A.T. Juniper developed its
compressor wash rig to service a multitude of engines.

ompanies across the aviation sector
are making changes to lower their
carbon footprint. Fleets are being
updated with cleaner, more fuel-efficient engines. However, this is a gradual
process. Engines in existing aircraft must

be cleaned regularly to mitigate the amount
of pollution they produce.
Chris Marshall, director of A.T. Juniper,
says clean engines use less fuel, resulting
in a smaller amount of pollution per flight.
He notes engines must be cleaned regularly, but frequency depends on where the
aircraft flies.
" If the aircraft's route takes it over
salt water, there will be a buildup of salt
deposits on the turbines, which will cause
corrosion and lessen efficiency; the engine
may have an oil leak or suffer a bird or
insect ingestion - in all these cases, frequent engine washing will reduce the
EGT (Exhaust Gas Temperature) before
it reaches critical levels, " Marshall notes.
A.T. Juniper manufacturers its 2x25
gallon multi-engine compressor wash rig
to accomplish the goal of keeping engines
clean.
Users insert pairs of wash probes into
the aircraft engine behind the fan blades
and the hooked nozzles direct water into
the core. A.T. Juniper designs and manufactures these wash probes specific to
the engine type being washed. For many
engines, there is a choice of either long or
short versions.
The short probes require more engine
preparation - opened thrust reverser doors,
for example - but are easier to handle and,
in many cases, can be stored on the rig.
The long probes can be fitted in minutes
and far less engine preparation is needed.
To collect any waste water and associated
contaminants from these engine washes,
A.T. Juniper also manufactures and supplies a portable collection mat to be used
in tandem with the wash rigs.
The heaters inside the wash rig heat the
water to 70 degrees Celsius, which is the
optimum temperature for engine washing
without detergents - though these can be
