The T-head coupler is intended to perform a cleaning-in-place of a blackwater tank inside a recreational vehicle, using a mixture of water and a cleaning agent. To accomplish this, the device includes a unique arrangement of ports and distribution channels, wherein the ports on the device are designed specifically to couple with ports commonly found in RVs and water sources. In addition, a container filled with a cleaning agent is attached to the bottom port on the device. When all attachments are made, a plurality of channels within the device direct incoming water to the container. The water mixes with the cleaning agent inside the container, forming a cleaning solution. The cleaning solution flows out of the device, using the pressure from the water source. The cleaning solution then flows from the RV port and into the blackwater tank, thereby cleaning the tank.

A drain cleaner apparatus for dispensing a cleaning composition into a condensate drain line of an air handler of an air conditioning system. The drain cleaner apparatus includes an apparatus reservoir configured to hold the cleaning composition, a connector interface configured to couple with the condensate drain line to cause an apparatus outlet of the drain cleaner apparatus to be in fluid communication with an opening of the condensate drain line, a dispenser device that is configured to be actuated to selectively dispense an amount of the cleaning composition from the apparatus reservoir and through the apparatus outlet, and a controller configured to actuate the dispenser device to cause the amount of the cleaning composition to be dispensed through the apparatus outlet without manual intervention.

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.

A method of cleaning a contaminated surface, such as cleaning the elongate interior lumen of an endoscope contaminated with flesh, bone, blood, mucous, faeces or biofilm, said method comprising the steps of: providing a suspension of solid particles in a liquid to said contaminated surface, and flowing said suspension along said surface thereby to remove contaminant from the surface. The suspension is preferably a paste, where the solid material may be e.g. crystals of a salt, silicon oxide or organic material. The paste preferably has a solid fraction between 5 and 55%. A rheology modifier may be present.

An apparatus for processing a substrate may include a vacuum suction part including vacuum holes configured to apply a vacuum pressure to a rear face of a substrate while a predetermined process is performed on the substrate, and a cleaning part configured to clean the vacuum holes in a cleaning process of cleaning the vacuum holes. The cleaning part may include a cleaning solution supply part configured to provide a cleaning solution into the vacuum holes, and a cleaning solution discharge part configured to discharge the cleaning solution from the vacuum holes.

A multipurpose underground tool may be compact, universal, multi-purpose and/or reconfigurable. A variety of underground equipment in a variety of conditions at a variety of depths with a variety of operating interfaces may be remotely viewed, cleared of obstructions and controlled with one tool that may be reduced in size. A portable computer (e.g., cell phone) may power a lighted camera, display images of underground conditions to assist a user with operations (e.g., clear obstructions, maneuver, steer, attach to and operate underground equipment) and/or provide a user interface. Accessories may be adjusted, added or removed to accomplish a variety of tasks in a variety of conditions. Integrated, detachable, fixed or adjustable accessories may include a display holder, an ejector, a retriever, a debris deflector, a debris collector, a pressure tank, a pressure hose, actuators and/or other pole tips (e.g., with one or more accessories), pole sections, handles and/or accessory controls.

A piping system of a steam turbine plant is provided with: steam piping connected to a steam turbine; bypass piping which branches from the steam piping at a branching portion and which is connected to a condenser; a steam check valve provided between the branching portion of the steam piping and the steam turbine; and a turbine bypass valve provided in the bypass piping. A piping system cleaning method includes the steps of: connecting at least one valve of the steam check valve and the turbine bypass valve and a connecting portion provided between the turbine bypass valve of the bypass piping and the condenser, by using temporary piping having a foreign matter collecting portion; closing a flow path on the outlet side of the valve; cleaning the steam piping by supplying steam to the steam piping; and sending the steam to the condenser through the temporary piping.

There is provided a technique that includes a first annealing step of annealing the reaction tube; a first cleaning step of cleaning an inner surface of the reaction tube, after the first annealing step, with a liquid including a fluorine compound having a first concentration; a first rinsing step of washing away the fluorine compound used in the first cleaning step with pure water; a second annealing step of annealing the reaction tube; a second cleaning step of cleaning the inner surface of the reaction tube, after the second annealing step, with a liquid including a fluorine compound having a second concentration higher than the first concentration; and a second rinsing step of washing away the fluorine compound used in the second cleaning step with pure water.

The present disclosure relates to a method and apparatus for cleaning a 3D printed article, in particular a 3D printed heat exchanger. After 3D printing, an article may have internal passages formed from bonded powder and said passages may contain unbonded powder that needs to be removed before further use of/processing of the article. To remove this unbonded powder, the article is filled with a cleaning fluid and vibrated. The cleaning fluid is then pumped out of the article and past a sensor that generates a magnetic field. The sensor detects the presence of powder particles in the fluid by detecting a perturbation of the magnetic field caused by said particles. The fluid is then filtered and returned to a reservoir for use. The sensor may indicate the article is sufficiently clean when a detected concentration of particles in the fluid drops below a threshold.
