... ship gas turbine generators and main propulsion engines are periodically shutdown and washed to improve compressor performance and extend operating life.... Offline wash(also referred to as crankwash) maintenance is intended to extend gas turbine life, improve engine efficiency, and improve maximum power output by removing salt, dirt and soot from the internal compressor components. 2, record 1, English, - offline%20gas%20turbine%20wash

The trapped vortex combustion(TVC) concept is a revolutionary technology with potential payoffs in almost every category of gas turbine combustor performance including heat release rate, operability, weight, and even cost. High-pressure testing results of a prototype TVC sector indicate it can help meet increased performance requirements while reducing overall emissions. TVC may also be used as a rich-burn, quick-quench, lean-burn method to reduce nitric oxide in ground power gas turbine engines that operate on low-cost fuels containing fuel-bound nitrogen. 3, record 2, English, - rich%2Dburn%2C%20quick%2Dquench%2C%20lean%2Dburn
