.... Further deposited water leads to a higher sensitivity toward fouling due to an increased stickiness of the blades. Therefore, erosion resistant hydrophobic coatings are applied to the first stages of compressors. Although some patents claim the use of such coatings the aerodynamic impact of a different...

... not captured by the air filtration system can cause deposits on blading and, consequently, result in a decrease in compressor performance. In the literature, there are some studies related to the fouling phenomena in transonic compressors, but in industrial applications (heavy-duty compressors, pump stations...

The sticking probability links the kinematic characteristics of particle impact on the blade with fouling phenomenon. The results show...

... in Fig. 18 , the washing strategy applied in 2014 and the consequent fouling control caused a significant amelioration of power plant power production (MWh) and heat rate. The overall power production increased by ∼1.6% and heat rate decreased by ∼0.8%. The performance improvement is translated...
