Definitions

  • the present invention relates to exchanger cleaning devices and more particularly to mobile cleaning stations.
  • the object of the invention is to propose a new machine with a movable frame allowing the automation of the cleaning of the heat exchanger plates by mechanical brushing and washing with water.
  • the device according to the invention is characterized in that it essentially comprises: a movable chassis supporting at least one carriage which can be lowered or raised, each carriage being provided with plates supporting motors which each drive a pair of brushes, l '' set of plates, motors and brushes that can tilt around a shaft perpendicular to the direction of movement of the carriages, the chassis also supporting parallel masks rotating around an axis located at the bottom of the chassis, as well as parallel masks rotating around an axis located at the top of the chassis, the axis of rotation of the low masks and the axis of rotation of the high masks being parallel to the tilting shaft of the brushes.
  • the various stages are carried out very quickly since they are automated.
  • the water from the ramps is sent to an appropriate pressure.
  • a brush is applied against a surface of the plate to be cleaned and another brush is applied against the surface of the next plate.
  • This pair of brushes is actuated by a single motor fitted with a gear such that the first brush rotates in the opposite direction to the direction of rotation of the second brush.
  • the brushes are all parallel and during the cleaning cycle they go up and down along the plates to be cleaned.
  • complete brushing of each face of the plate is carried out in a few seconds. Since several pairs of brushes are used, several plates can be brushed simultaneously, which further increases the speed of cleaning.
  • the spacing of the masks makes it possible to apply them against the joints of the plates and to maintain the latter in the separated position.
  • the masks have any shape such that in the tilted position, they cover the plate seals of the exchanger.
  • the cleaning device can be brought in front of the plates.
  • These plates are separated in parallel and as the brushes and the masks can tilt, they come to be interposed between the plates to proceed on the one hand to the cleaning of the plates and on the other hand to the protection of the joints.
  • the masks have an additional function which is to keep the plates of the exchanger in the separated position.
  • Strippers can be sprayed if desired.
  • chemicals are to be avoided for cleaning nuclear power plant exchangers, any contamination being avoided.
  • the possibility of having a high water pressure replaces the addition of stripper.
  • an exchanger 1 mainly consisting of a multitude of parallel plates 2 and capable of sliding along the slide 3a. These plates are generally provided with openings comprising seals 3.
  • the liquid to be cooled circulates between the plates 2, while a cooling fluid circulates in a different direction so that the heat flow is transmitted from a fluid to the other.
  • the liquid flowing between the plates is usually water. Consequently, deposits can form on the face of each plate wall, the thickness of which increases with time.
  • the station below according to the invention is used.
  • This device (see FIG. 2) is mobile thanks to two wheels 5 which move in a rail 6.
  • a chassis 7 rests on the wheels 5 and the wheels 8 which are parallel to them.
  • Angle bars 9 in U support two carriages 10 which can be raised or lowered along the angles which are provided with rollers or wheels.
  • the motor shaft 11 drives a chain 12 which itself actuates the carriages 10.
  • the latter are provided with plates 13 supporting four motors 14 each driving two shafts 15 in opposite directions, by means of a gear (not shown).
  • Each shaft 15 actuates a cylindrical brush 16. Consequently, the device comprises eight brushes rotating in pairs in opposite directions.
  • the plates 1 3 are connected by bearing support plates (not shown). In addition, they can rotate around the tilting shaft 17.
  • the angles 9 are fixed to a high frame 7 '.
  • the frames 7 and 7 ' are each connected to eight masks 18 and 18'.
  • Each mask 18 and 18 ' is movable around an axis 19 and 19' and can pass from the vertical position (shown in solid lines in Figure 2) to the horizontal position (shown in broken lines). All the masks 18 are parallel and equidistant, as well as the masks 18 '.
  • the procedure is as follows: the plates are moved aside so as to leave four interstices 20.
  • the mobile cleaning station is then brought in, leaving it to roll in the rail 6, in front of the separated plates.
  • the automatic cleaning cycle therefore begins.
  • the eight masks tilt around axis 19, according to arrow B ( Figure 2).
  • the masks are rotated using four jacks 21 (FIG. 4), each rod T of which is fixed to one end 23 of the rigid rod 24, the other end of which is fixed to the mask 18.
  • the end 2 3 undergoing a translation, the mask 18 undergoes a rotation.
  • To tilt the mask in the direction of arrow B it suffices to actuate the jack 21 in the opposite direction.
  • the low masks are blocked in this tilted position, so that the seals 3 are constantly protected. This blocking is done by means of jacks, the rods of which engage in an orifice made in the masks.
  • There are four of these masking cylinders for low masks.
  • the tilting and blocking cylinders are fixed to the side carriages 7.
  • the upper masks are similarly tilted in the direction of the arrow B 'to protect the upper seals 3 and are locked in this position. Finally, the masks are separated and are pressed against the exchanger sheets which they maintain at the spacing by two jacks.
  • the plates 1 3 as well as the motors 14 and the eight brushes 16 then tilt around the shaft 17, according to arrow C, thanks to a system of jacks similar to the system of jacks used for the tilting of the masks. Similarly, the plates 1 3 are locked in the working position, using jacks.
  • the brushes are therefore in the position shown in Figures 1 and 3 and the masks are in the position shown in Figure 3.
  • a brush 16 rotating in a direction rubs against the face 25 of a plate and the combined brush 16 'which is driven by the same motor rotates in the opposite direction while rubbing against the face 25' of the next plate.
  • the brushes are put in translation and go up to the top of the plates, thanks to the motor shaft 11 and the chain 12. The brushes descend to perform a complete cycle.
  • the plates 1 3 supporting the brushes tilt in the opposite direction to the arrow C, then the low and high masks are moved away from the plates and finally the high masks return to the vertical position; the low masks then return in their vertical position.
  • the cleaned plates are moved to the left and reserved against the previous ones.
  • the masks are in the role of stainless steel. Of course, they can be of any shape and only need to protect the seals, usually rubber, arranged around openings between the plates.
