  • linear units are interchangeably designed depending on the boiler and can also be arranged at an angle depending on the space available
  • the bellows attached to the connecting pieces are connected to the blowpipe.
  • the profile for attaching the linear units to the boiler wall is preferably designed as a U-profile with a flange
  • a further special feature of the invention is that the pressure difference between the boiler house and the combustion chamber is exploited in a targeted manner via the recesses of the connecting piece arranged in a circle around the nozzle and its integration into the front universal joint. This pressure difference is thus used in a particularly advantageous manner Gaps provided expansion of the connector used that the air flow without changing its direction significantly, on the one hand flows around the nozzle in a veil-shaped manner and on the other hand is increased in its flow rate via the conically enlarged inlet and the recesses of the distributor
  • the water jet is largely freed from turbulence, so that a maximum amplification and concentration of the jet and cleaning effect is achieved by the interaction according to the invention of a directed water jet and a bundling air flow
