Carbon Cleaning with Walnut Blasting

[74bassman]

As a Jet engine mech in Navy, we used walnut shells to cleaned the engine on SH-60B. Which uses a GE turbo shaft engine. We would throw the grounded up shells into the intake on the engine. The engine was in a windmill state, meaning that air was going thru the entire engine, but no fuel. The shells would clean the compressor blades and the turbine blades before exiting. Then we would actually wash the engine with soap and water in the same manner. I don't know if I would actually uses walnut media on a motor that was running, but I would use it on parts that needed cleaning. I have a media cleaner that i uses to clean the brass for my ammo, before i reload the cartridge. I would used this and my sonic cleaner for parts with soot buildup. I might even try with a sensor.
