Cleaning the compressor during
operation
Wet cleaning using external water-pressure vessel (XC3)
Operating state prerequisites for wet cleaning XC3
In the case of V-engines with several turbochargers on each engine, it is
recommended that both turbochargers are cleaned in parallel. This clean-
ing process is faster and the risk of turbocharger surging is reduced.
Compressor wet cleaning procedure with XC3
It is mandatory to fulfil the operating condition prerequisites before
cleaning compressors with XC3.
Remove the sealing plug (X).
Fill the vessel with the required volume of clean water (see the Table
of cleaning parameters).
Screw in the sealing plug (X).
Push the valve activator (Y) against the spring and hold it for 10 to 15
seconds until the entire volume of water has been injected.
After cleaning, wait at least 5 minutes to allow the turbocharger to dry.
