Abstract

The explosive cleaning system uses a first fixed tube (Rohr-1) with a water inlet (Wassereinlass) and an air inlet (Lufteinlass). The mixture of water and air flows through this tube, and passes through a flexible link (Gelenk) to a second movable tube (Rohr-2). It flows into the space between the boiler tubes (8,9) to be cleaned. A wire (Zundleitung) passes through the first tube and the link to an igniter (Zunder) and an explosive cord (Sprengschnur) in the second tube. The tubes may be made of cardboard or copper and burst with the water and air scattered by explosion of elongated cord.

Description

Es ist allgemein bekannt, dass Wärmetauscher, Abhitzekessel oder Brennkammern, also Räume, in denen eine Verbrennung stattfindet und die mit entsprechenden Leitungen versehen sind, durch die ein zu erwärmendes Medium strömt, in gewissen Zeitabständen gereinigt werden müssen. Der Grund für diese Reinigung besteht darin, dass die Leitungen, die von dem zu erwärmenden Medium durchströmt werden, an ihrer Außenseite durch den Brennvorgang innerhalb des Brennraumes versotten bzw. von einer Schicht von Brennrückständen bedeckt sind, die den Wärmeübergang erschweren bzw. verhindern, was letztlich den Wirkungsgrad der Anlage vermindert.It is well known that heat exchangers, waste heat boilers or Combustion chambers, ie rooms where incineration takes place and which are provided with corresponding lines through which a to be heated Medium flows, be cleaned at certain intervals have to. The reason for this cleaning is that the lines, which are flowed through by the medium to be heated on its outside by the firing process within the combustion chamber are covered or covered by a layer of fuel residues, which make the heat transfer difficult or prevent what ultimately the Efficiency of the system reduced.

Es ist bereits auch bekannt, dass zur Reinigung solcher Räume und Leitungen sog. Explosionsreinigungen durchgeführt werden. Hierzu wird beispielsweise ein Textilsack außerhalb des zu reinigenden Raums mit einem Gasgemisch gefüllt und in den Raum, der gereinigt werden soll, eingebracht und dort zur Explosion gebracht. Bei einem solchen Verfahren entsteht eine kugelförmige Abreinigung, da die gesamte Sprengwirkung vom Textilsack, der idealerweise als Kugel angenommen werden kann, ausgeht. Das Problem hierbei ist, dass zwar Verschmutzungen, die außenseitig auf den Leitungen bzw. Rauminnenwänden aufgebracht sind und die direkt von der Sprengwirkung erreicht werden können, möglicherweise beseitigt werden können. Da jedoch die Leitungen, die das zu erwärmende Medium aufnehmen, oftmals sehr eng zueinander liegen, kann die Sprengwirkung nur einen kleinen Teil der Verunreinigungen ablösen, häufig jedoch nicht Verunreinigungen, die zwischen den Rohren oder von der Sprengung aus gesehen hinter den Rohren liegen.It is already known that for the cleaning of such spaces and Lines so-called. Explosion cleaners are performed. For this purpose is For example, a textile bag outside of the room to be cleaned with filled with a gas mixture and into the room to be cleaned, and brought there to explode. In such a process creates a spherical cleaning, as the entire blasting effect from the textile sack, which are ideally accepted as a ball can, go out. The problem here is that while pollution, the outside applied on the lines or room interior walls are and that can be reached directly from the blasting effect, possibly can be eliminated. However, since the wires, the take the medium to be heated, often very close to each other lying, the blasting effect can only a small part of the impurities replace, but often not impurities between the pipes or from the blast behind the pipes lie.

Hier setzt die Erfindung an, die sich die Aufgabe gestellt hat, die bisherigen Nachteile zu vermeiden und darüber hinaus auch eine Reinigung zu erlauben, wenn die Temperatur innerhalb des zu reinigenden Raumes noch nicht auf Raumtemperatur oder eine Temperatur unterhalb 100° C abgesunken ist.This is where the invention, which has set itself the task, the previous To avoid disadvantages and also a cleaning too allow if the temperature within the room to be cleaned not yet at room temperature or a temperature below 100 ° C has dropped.

Die Aufgabe wird durch ein Verfahren mit den Merkmalen nach Anspruch 1 und eine Vorrichtung mit den Merkmalen nach Anspruch 3 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen sind in den Unteransprüchen beschrieben.The object is achieved by a method having the features according to claim 1 and a device with the features of claim 3 solved. Advantageous developments are described in the subclaims.

Gemäß der Erfindung wird nicht eine kugelförmige Sprengung innerhalb des Brennraums durchgeführt, sondern eine lineare Sprengung, d. h. also eine Sprengung, bei welcher die Sprengwirkung auf eine große Länge verteilt ist. Hierzu wird ein Rohr, z. B. ein Rohr aus Pappe und/oder Kupfer, mit einem Gasgemisch gefüllt und/oder innenseitig mit einer Sprengschnur versehen, so dass durch die Sprengung die gewünschte Sprengwirkung erzielt werden kann. Durch die Explosion gemäß der Erfindung wird eine Schockwelle erzeugt, die bei Auftreffen auf abzureinigende Verschmutzungen diese absprengt. Durch den geringen Rohrdurchmesser ist auch eine Reinigung zwischen den verunreinigten Leitungen bzw. Leitungsbündeln möglich und wenn das Sprengrohr von einem Kühlmedium durchströmt wird, kann auch die Reinigung während des Betriebs oder nach einer kurzfristigen Abschaltung des Betriebs erfolgen, wenn die Temperatur innerhalb des Brennraums (des Wärmetauschers) noch nicht sehr weit abgesunken ist. Dies erlaubt es, dass für die Reinigung selbst keine relevanten Ausfallzeiten, wie sie bislang von bis zu mehreren Tagen üblich sind, verursacht werden.According to the invention, a spherical blast is not within performed the combustion chamber, but a linear detonation, d. H. So a blast, in which the explosive effect on a large Length is distributed. For this purpose, a pipe, z. B. a tube made of cardboard and / or copper, filled with a gas mixture and / or inside with a detonating cord provided, so that by blowing the desired Explosive effect can be achieved. Due to the explosion according to the invention, a shock wave is generated, which upon impact on dirt to be cleaned off these. By the small one Pipe diameter is also a cleaning between the contaminated Lines or wire bundles possible and if the blast of A cooling medium is flowed through, can also during cleaning operation or after a short-term shutdown of operation take place when the temperature inside the combustion chamber (the heat exchanger) has not dropped very far yet. This allows that for the cleaning itself does not have any relevant downtime, as previously reported by up to several days are common cause.

Die Erfindung ist nachfolgend anhand von Beispielen erläutert:

  • Figur 1 zeigt ein Rohr 1, vorzugsweise Papprohr, welches eine Zündkerze (Zünder) 2 aufnimmt. Das Rohr ist einerseits mit einem Verschluss versehen und auf der anderen Seite ist ein Gaseinfüllstutzen ausgebildet.
  • Figur 2 zeigt die gesamte Vorrichtung in zusammengesetzten Zustand.
    • The invention is explained below by way of examples:
  • Figure 1 shows a tube 1, preferably cardboard tube, which receives a spark plug (igniter) 2. The tube is on the one hand provided with a closure and on the other side a gas filler neck is formed.
  • Figure 2 shows the entire device in assembled condition.

    • Das Rohr kann je nach Einsatz beliebig lang gemacht werden und, wie im dargestellten Beispiel zu sehen, weist das Rohr einen relativ kleinen Durchmesser von beispielsweise 3 cm bis 15 cm auf, so dass es auch in die Gassen der Wärmetauscherleitungen innerhalb der Brennkammer eingebracht werden kann.The tube can be made arbitrarily long depending on the application and how seen in the example shown, the tube has a relatively small Diameter of for example 3 cm to 15 cm, so that it is also in the lanes of the heat exchanger lines within the combustion chamber can be introduced.

    Nach Auslösung der Sprengung, durch die das gesamte (Papp)rohr zerlegt wird, können die Teile wie Füllkopf-Löschzündkerze, Gewindestange, Verschluss usw. wieder weiter verwendet werden.After triggering the demolition, through which the entire (cardboard) tube breaks down the parts such as filling head extinguishing spark plug, threaded rod, Closure, etc. continue to be used again.

    Figur 3 zeigt eine alternative Ausführungsform. Hierbei ist zu sehen, dass in den Brennraum ein erstes Rohr eingelassen wird, welches über ein Gelenk mit einem zweiten Rohr verbunden ist. Durch das Gelenk kann der jeweilige Winkel des zweiten Rohres (Sprengrohr) so eingestellt werden, wie dies gerade gewünscht ist.Figure 3 shows an alternative embodiment. Here you can see that in the combustion chamber, a first tube is inserted, which over a joint is connected to a second tube. Through the joint the respective angle of the second tube (blasting tube) can be adjusted become as desired.

    Figur 4 zeigt im Beispiel eine Ansicht für eine beispielhafte Ausbildung der Erfindung. Hierbei ist ein erstes Rohr 1 mit einem zweiten Rohr 2 über ein Gelenk verbunden. Innerhalb des zweiten Rohres ist ein Zünder angeordnet, welcher mit einer Sprengschnur verbunden ist.FIG. 4 shows in the example a view for an exemplary embodiment the invention. Here, a first tube 1 with a second tube. 2 connected via a joint. Inside the second tube is an igniter arranged, which is connected to a detonating cord.

    Wird nunmehr zwischen die beschriebene Anordnung ein Brennraum eingebracht, und zwar dort zwischen Rohrbündel (-leitungen) 8 und 9, so kann mittels der Auslösung der Sprengung, also mittels der Explosion die Reinigung der Rohre vorgenommen werden, und damit die Sprengung nicht zu einem unerwünschten Zeitpunkt erfolgt, wird das Rohrinnere mittels zugeführten Wassers (bzw. zugeführter Luft), welches über das erste Rohr 1 einströmt entsprechend gekühlt, so dass eine unerwünschte Auslösung der Explosion sicher verhindert werden kann.Will now between the described arrangement a combustion chamber introduced, there between tube bundle (lines) 8 and 9, so can by means of the triggering of the blast, so by means of the explosion the cleaning of the pipes are made, and thus the blowing up is not done at an undesirable time, the pipe interior by means of supplied water (or supplied air), which over the first tube 1 flows accordingly cooled, so that an undesirable Triggering the explosion can be safely prevented.

    Innerhalb des zweiten Rohres 2 ist eine Sprengschnur (und ggf. ein explosives Gasgemisch) ausgebildet und die Sprengschnur ist mit dem Zünder verbunden. Wie in der Figur 4 weiter dargestellt, wird das erste Rohr wie auch das zweite Rohr von einem Kühlmedium durchströmt, im dargestellten Beispiel ein Luft-/Wassergemisch. Der Zünder ist über eine Zündleitung mit dem Auslöser des Zündmechanismus außerhalb des Rohrs verbunden. Das Kühlmedium strömt in das erste Rohr und über das Gelenk auch in das zweite Rohr, so dass der Zünder und die Sprengschnur ausreichend gekühlt werden, damit nicht eine unvorhergesehene Explosion vorzeitig ausgelöst wird.Within the second tube 2 is a detonating cord (and possibly an explosive Gas mixture) and the detonating cord is with the Connected detonator. As further shown in Figure 4, the first Tube as well as the second tube flows through a cooling medium, in Example shown an air / water mixture. The detonator is over a firing line with the trigger of the firing mechanism outside connected to the pipe. The cooling medium flows into the first tube and over the joint also into the second tube, so that the fuze and the Sprengschnur be sufficiently cooled, so not an unforeseen Explosion is triggered prematurely.

    Wird die Sprengung ausgelöst, so wird das äußere Rohr 2, z. B. wenn dieses aus Pappe, Glas, Metall, Kupfer oder Kunststoff gefertigt ist, zersplittert (zerstört) (wie bei einer Handgranate) und die einzelnen abgesprengten Partikel treffen auf die Verunreinigung an den zu reinigenden Rohren innerhalb der Brennkammer. Die Verunreinigungen werden hierbei abgelöst.If the blast is triggered, the outer tube 2, z. For example this is made of cardboard, glass, metal, copper or plastic, splintered (destroyed) (as with a hand grenade) and the individual blasted off Particles impinge on the contaminant to be cleaned Pipes inside the combustion chamber. The impurities become hereby replaced.

    Ist der Zünder mit einem Temperatursensor versehen, so kann die Kühlmenge so eingestellt werden, dass eine unvorhergesehene Sprengung nicht vorzeitig verursacht wird.If the igniter provided with a temperature sensor, so can the Cooling amount can be adjusted so that an unforeseen detonation not caused prematurely.

    Wie in den dargestellten Beispielen auch zu sehen, sind die Sprengrohre so bemessen, dass sie auch zwischen die zu reinigenden Leitungen innerhalb des Brennraumes passen und somit auch Verunreinigungen von den Leitungen abgelöst werden können, die vom Brennraum aus gesehen zwischen den Leitungen oder hinter diesen liegen.As can also be seen in the examples shown, the blasting pipes are so that they are also between the lines to be cleaned Within the combustion chamber fit and thus also impurities can be detached from the lines from the combustion chamber Seen between the lines or behind these.
