Abstract
A mobile cart-mounted unit for cleaning and preserving turbine engines comprises pressurized reservoirs for holding the solvent, cleaner, preservative and water. Pressurization is achieved by use of an integrally mounted air compressor driven by an internal combustion engine. The engine also powers an alternator which is used to charge a storage battery. The storage battery serves as an energy source to crank the turbine to approximately 10 percent rated speed during the cleaning and preservation servicing sequence. A control console provides the operator with the needed valves, gages and meters with which to operate the unit.
