Abstract

Systems and methods for treating a component of an installed and assembled gas turbine engine are provided. Accordingly, the system includes a storage vessel configured for containing a treating fluid. The system further includes a delivery assembly operably coupled to the storage vessel and a control unit. The delivery assembly is configured to atomize a portion of the treating fluid to develop a treating mist of atomized droplets having a median diameter facilitating suspension of the atomized droplets within at least one flow path of the core gas turbine engine. A flow generation assembly of the system is configured to facilitate a passage of the treating mist along the at least one flow path of the core gas turbine engine so as to wet and treat the component.
