Zusammenfassung:A system and method for washing a turbine engine is provided to increase the safety and quality of washing operation according to the washing result obtained by an automated washing system, and to considerably reduce errors of the system, which may made by human. A system for washing a turbine engine(1) includes a washing unit which supplies washing liquid to a turbine engine, and a control unit which serves to control the washing unit according to the washing parameter related to a specific engine. The engine washing system is further provided with a manifold(10), a pumping system, and a plurality of nozzles(103). The manifold includes a plurality of tubes(102). The pumping system includes a pump and a plurality of valves, and serves to supply washing liquid having a predetermined pressure to the manifold. Each of the nozzles is connected to one end of a corresponding tube. The control unit serves to control the pumping system.
