20080216873SYSTEM AND DEVICES FOR COLLECTING AND TREATING WASTE WATER FROM ENGINE WASHING - The present invention relates to the field of washing engines, particularly using washing liquids such as water and detergent or water only, and more specifically to systems, apparatus and a mobile cart comprising such a system for collecting and treating the waste water from engine washing operations. The system comprises a collecting device for collecting waste liquid during a washing operation of the engine and a treatment device for treating waste liquid collected during said washing operation. According to an embodiment, the system is arranged on a mobile cart (09-11-2008
20090260660METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CLEANING A TURBOFAN GAS TURBINE ENGINE - Device for cleaning a gas turbine engine, and in particular an engine of turbofan type. The present invention further relates to a method for cleaning such an engine. The device comprises a plurality of nozzles arranged to atomize cleaning liquid in the air stream in an air inlet of the engine up-stream of a fan of the engine. According to the invention, a first nozzle is arranged at a position such that the cleaning liquid emanating from the first nozzle impinges the surfaces of the blades substantially on the pressure side; a second nozzle is arrange at a position such that the cleaning liquid emanating from the second nozzle impinges the surfaces of the blades substantially on the suction side; and a third nozzle is arranged at a position such that the cleaning liquid emanating from the third nozzle passes substantially between the blades and enters an inlet of the core engine. Thereby, the different types of fouling found on the fan and in the core engine compressor of turbofan engine can be removed in an efficient manner.10-22-2009
20100132745NOZZLE AND METHOD FOR WASHING GAS TURBINE COMPRESSORS - A nozzle for cleaning a gas turbine unit during operation. The invention further relates to a method for washing a gas turbine unit during operation. The nozzle is arranged to atomize a wash liquid in the air stream in an air intake of the gas turbine unit and comprises a nozzle body comprising an intake end for intake of said wash liquid and outlet end for exit of said wash liquid. The nozzle further comprises a number of orifices that are connected to the outlet end and respective orifice is arranged at a suitable distance from a centre axis of said nozzle body, whereby the local density of the injected wash liquid in a desired area can be increased with preserved droplet size and thereby the efficiency of the cleaning process can be significantly improved at the same time as the risk for damaging the components in the gas turbine unit is significantly reduced.06-03-2010
20120031444PROBE CLEANING METHOD AND APPARATUS - A cleaning apparatus for cleaning measuring probes (02-09-2012
20140083466TURBOENGINE WATER WASH SYSTEM - A system for cleaning gas turbine engines is described. More specifically, methods and apparatuses for cleaning stationary gas turbines and on-wing turbofan engines found on aircraft are disclosed that includes a trailer-mounted, automated low-pressure water delivery system, additive and detergent injection system, nozzle and manifold technology, and active waste water effluent collector system. The system will deliver the liquid cleaning medium at a specific pressure, temperature, and flow rate to optimize the atomization that occurs at the nozzles.03-27-2014

20120158263SYSTEM FOR CONTROL OF A GEARBOX - A system for control of a gearbox, having at least one control unit controlling the gearbox where the gearbox is installed in a motor vehicle having an engine connected to drive the gearbox. The system effects a first upshift from a first gear to a second gear if the acceleration a for the vehicle is greater than nil for the second gear and the current engine speed is within a first engine speed range; and effects a second upshift from the first gear to a third gear if the current engine speed is within a second engine speed range. The first speed range is lower than the second speed range of the engine. A method, a motor vehicle, a computer program and a computer program product for the method are disclosed.06-21-2012
20120173099METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SETTING A VEHICLE IN MOTION - A method for setting a vehicle in motion: The vehicle includes a combustion engine for generating driving force for transmission to at least one powered wheel via a clutch and a gearbox. The driving force is selectively transmitted from the engine to the powered wheels by closure of the clutch. Gear changes by the gearbox are at least partly controlled by a control system. With the clutch closed and upon demand for the vehicle to be set in motion with the clutch closed, the control system activates the vehicle's starter motor with gear engaged, and uses the starter motor to accelerate the combustion engine to an initial speed which represents a speed at which the combustion engine will start.07-05-2012

20120296534METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONTROL OF A GEARBOX - A method for control of a vehicle gearbox which is automatically controlled by a control system. The control system's choice of transmission ratio is influenceable by the vehicle's driver. The control system chooses an initial transmission ratio for moving off stationary. The method includes determining a first initial transmission ratio by using the control system, and determining a second initial transmission ratio indicated by the vehicle driver. The gearbox is set to the second initial transmission ratio indicated by the driver when the second ratio is higher than the first initial transmission ratio determined by the control system.11-22-2012
