Abstract

Embodiments provide systems 20 and methods 500 for removing debris from a surface. A system 20 can include a first impulse cleaning device 22 and a second impulse cleaning device 23, each impulse cleaning device generating shock waves directed to a surface to be cleaned, wherein the first impulse cleaning device and the second impulse cleaning device are oriented such that the respective shock waves intersect 210 at or proximate the surface. The system can further include a controller 26 in operable communication with the first impulse cleaning device 22 and the second impulse cleaning device 23, wherein the controller 26 is configured to selectively cause phased operation of the first impulse cleaning device 22 and the second impulse cleaning device 23 such that the phased operation selectively controls the location of the intersection 210 of the respective shock waves.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate generally to industrial cleaning devices and, more particularly, to systems and methods for phasing multiple impulse cleaning devices. Background technique [0002] Industrial boilers work by using a heat source to generate steam from water or another working fluid, which can then be used to drive a turbine for power. The heat source may be a burner which burns a fuel to generate heat which is transferred to the working fluid via a heat exchanger. Combustion of fuel can generate residues that can be left on burner or heat exchanger surfaces. Such residues of soot, ash, slag or dust on heat exchanger surfaces can prevent heat transfer and thus reduce the efficiency of a system such as a boiler. Regular removal of such accumulated deposits maintains the efficiency of such boiler systems. [0003] Pressurized steam, water jets, sonic waves and mechanical hammering have been used to remove accumulated deposits...
