How does Turboline FS100 keep fuel and combustion systems clean?
In dirty systems, Turboline FS100 first shuts down reactions that cause carbon and coke buildup as the fuel is thermally stressed. Next, the detergent power of the additive begins binding to existing carbon-on-metal surfaces that with high turbulent environments creates a cleaning actions as the additive flows through the systems. The capability of both preventing carbon buildup plus cleanup helps keep turbine engines clean. 3. What causes fuels to form carbon or coke? When jet fuel is exposed to increased temperatures, chemical reactions begin to take place that result in gum formation and color change. If long enough, the exposure can result in carbon or coke deposits on metal surfaces. Fuel nozzles typically represent the highest temperature contact point for the jet fuel (>300o F) and often carbon buildup can be seen at the face. This type of carbon buildup can lead to poor atomization and distorted fuel spray patterns in combustion sections that can cause increased levels of carbo
