Compressor wash and carbon deposit
Hi,
Hi,
a) how do you clean the fuel nozzles from carbon deposits? using regular compressor wash, in engine shop (combustor casing removed), through spark plug holes, or connecting the cleaning liquid hose with the fuel line upstream the fuel nozzles?
Modern engines have engine wash (called also compressor wash mostly because the goal is to clean the compressor blades) even though the cleaning liquid pass through the gas path of the engine. If I am not mistaken, in some old engines like JT8D the combustors were cleaned also through the spark plug holes (through combustor casing).
bWhy modern engines are not subject to cleaning through spark plug holes as some older engine such JT8D?
c) Are combustor and fuel nozzles on modern engines are less prone to carbon deposits than the older engine, OR the current compressor wash (modern equipment wash) is more efficient to remove carbon deposits?
d) I am wondering if the AMMs (aircraft maintenance manuals) recommend to inspect the combustor and the fuel nozzles for carbon deposits or not?
Feedback appreciated.

Hi,
Years ago we had problems with the CFM-56-2 and the -3's We figured out the fuel nozzles were clogging and leaking and failing due to being coked up. We instituted an engine wash program which cleaned the fuel nozzles and all of that ended. But only after having changed 100's of fuel nozzles first.
