The present invention is directed to an improved mobile combustion cleaning system for removing debris from a plurality of semi-permeable heat exchange surfaces with a moveable distribution network configured for receipt of a combustion mixture from a mobile cart according to a configurable controller the configurable controller generating the impulse wave from the combustion mixture and for moving the moveable distribution network along a plurality of axes in response to a change in pressure.

A cleaning system and method includes suspending and exploding, adjacent a bank of HRSG finned-tubing, a plurality of generally uniformly spaced detonation cords. Each detonation cord has an explosive grain loading of 18-50 grains per foot. A detonation delay assembly attached to each of the plurality of detonation cords creates a predetermined delay between each detonation cord explosion. After the detonation cords are exploded, a suspended elongated beam, having a transport assembly and a pressurized air blower assembly directs pressurized air towards an adjacent the bank of HRSG finned-tubing as the pressurized air blower assembly is moved along a portion of the beam. A suspension assembly moves the beam, the transport assembly, and the pressurized air blower assembly up or down so that a next portion of the bank of HRSG finned-tubing may be cleaned by the pressurized air.

The present invention provides an improved system and method for cleaning a plurality of semi-permeable heat exchange surfaces using an impulse wave which is transmitted by a distribution network and moved around the heat exchange surfaces by a navigational network.

An appliance and a method for removing deposits from interiors of receptacles or facilities by way of explosion technology. The appliance includes a supply device for providing an explosive mixture or its starting components, as well as a transport conduit that is connected to the supply device and serves for transporting explosive mixture to a cleaning location. The transport conduit is designed at least in sections as a transport hose.

A method and cleaning device for removing deposits from interiors of receptacles and installations by way of explosion technology. The cleaning device includes a cleaning apparatus with a receiving space, and at least one pressure container that is connected via at least one metering fitting to the cleaning apparatus. The controlled introduction of the at least one gaseous component into the cleaning apparatus is effected according to the principle of the differential pressure between a maximal pressure at the beginning of the introduction and a nominal residual pressure after completion of the introduction. For this, based on a maximal pressure, the nominal residual pressure in the pressure container is ascertained on the basis of the quantity of gaseous component to be introduced, and the introduction of the at least one gaseous component is stopped on reaching the nominal residual pressure, which thereby lies in the overpressure range.

The invention relates to a system (1) connectable to a boiler, the system comprising housing (2) connectable to the boiler defining a shock wave chamber (3). An electrically conducting wire (4) is provided in the shock wave chamber, and electrical means (5) are provided for generating an electrical discharge pulse through the wire such that to evaporate the wire. Thereby a shock wave for is generated for cleaning of dust deposit from surfaces in the boiler. Further to this, a method for cleaning a boiler is disclosed.

A cleaning device for removing deposits in receptacles by way of blasting technology includes a cleaning lance with a grip-side and with a cleaning-side end section, on which a flexible container envelope forming a receiving space can be attached. The cleaning lance includes a feed tube with a container connection device that is arranged on the cleaning-side end section and is for feeding the explosive mixture or its starting components, to the container envelope, as well as a protective tube with a receiving space for a container envelope for the propose of shielding the container envelope to the outside. The protective tube is displaceably arranged along the longitudinal axis of the cleaning lance relative to the feed tube from a first position, in which the container envelope is shielded by the protective tube, into a second position in which the container envelope projects out through the protective tube.

A device for generating pressure waves of high amplitude, in particular for boiler cleaning, has a pressure-resistant container (21, 40) with a combustion chamber (121) inserted therein, which can be filled with a flowable burn-off material via supply lines. The pressure-resistant container has a discharge opening (306) for the directional discharge of gas pressure generated by ignition of the combustible material. A piston (70) closes the discharge opening, can release it for directional discharge and can be pushed back into the initial position by a spring device. With respect to its longitudinal direction (305), the seat of the piston (70) has a piston surface (302) inclined obliquely to the discharge opening (306), which is arranged opposite a housing surface (303) also inclined obliquely to the discharge opening (306), the housing surface (303) opening opposite the piston surface (302) at an angle (304) oriented towards the discharge opening (306) from a closure line (65) oriented perpendicularly to the piston direction (90).
