Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for the internal cleaning of industrial furnaces such as blast furnaces, cement kilns, waste incinerators, coal power plant stoves or other facilities such as large silos, bulk bunker, mixing bunker and the like.
  • Industrial guns used so far being like a machine gun and operated with cartridge ammunition with propellant charges, are of very heavy construction and weigh about 100 kilograms. This requires that the transport and the in-position bring by several employees must be made. At inaccessible or hard to reach places in power plants conventional industrial cannons can not be used practically because of their high weight.
  • the inventive method is thus characterized in that instead of firing the ammunition with propellant charges, the ammunition is fired only with compressed air, and that the projectiles have a Aufschlagzünder and a small explosive charge.
  • the industrial cannon By firing the ammunition with compressed air, the industrial cannon can be built much easier, and the muzzle velocity of the projectiles can be easily adjusted by adjusting the air pressure used in each case to local conditions, so for example increase with a larger shooting distance and reduce at a short shooting distance, so that the stress an oven or bunker wall is controllable and manageable.
  • the impacting projectile Due to the formation of the projectiles with an impact fuze and a small explosive charge, the impacting projectile, which may be lighter than the projectiles fired with conventional industrial cannons, nevertheless generates high energy at the point of impact for destroying and knocking off buildup and encrustations, but this effect is more extensive is done and is not limited to the pure bullet cross section, as is the case with the result of extremely high surface pressures in the conventional ammunition.
  • the slag from the combustion process is wetted with water for cooling and transported into a slag bunker.
  • the slag sticks or dries to the walls and becomes as hard as concrete.
  • the method according to the invention with which adhering slag can be fired accurately, leads to remarkable results.
  • a pressure adjustment of the air pressure in the industrial gun of about 20 bar is preferred.
  • a muzzle velocity of about 130 m / s (equivalent to about 460 km / h) is achieved in a Auftschzündergeunter with a bullet weight of about 100 g.
  • the pressure setting can be increased or decreased in order to achieve a greater or smaller initial speed of the projectile or impact velocity of the projectile.
  • the pressure setting can also be adjusted accordingly.
  • the impact fuze projectile may be equipped with different pyrotechnic or explosive charges, depending on the intended application. Thus, a wide variability and adaptability in terms of purpose and effect is possible.
  • the projectile effect can be varied in a wide range. Because so that the shape and effect of each pressure wave generated can be changed. So it is possible, for example, to make the configuration so that a concentrated Pressure wave produces a strong depth effect on the impact surface, or produces a broader, but less surface pressure having surface effect.
  • the compressed air industrial gun can be compact in design and its weight is ready for use at around 15 kg. That's only about one-sixth the weight of a conventional industrial cannon for firing cartridge ammunition.
  • the industrial gun to be used in the method according to the invention can thus be conveniently transported by a single person, brought into firing position and operated.
  • the ammunition is preferably constructed so that it consists of only three parts, namely projectile body, cap and impact fuze and decomposed nu in these three parts. Therefore, the ammunition is safe and produces no uncontrolled flying splinters or fragments.
  • Fig. 1 shows in perspective view a bullet with impact fuze for use in the inventive method.
  • the projectile has, for example, a diameter of about 40 mm and a length of about 130 mm. It consists of a rear shell forming projectile shell or projectile body 1 with the flight stabilization serving ribs 2, a front part forming cap 3 and arranged at the top of the cap 3 Aufschlagzünder 4.
  • the enclosed by the projectile body 1 and the cap 3 Cavity is filled with an explosive charge of explosive or pyrotechnic material.
  • Fig. 2 shows an industrial cannon for firing from the projectile Fig. 1 in the side view. It has a tube 11, a projectile chamber 12 at the rear end of the tube, which can be closed with an axially displaceable closure sleeve 13, and a cannon body 14 with a rear handle 15 and operating handles 16 and a compressed air connection 17th
  • Fig. 3 shows the area of interest here industrial gun, which can be operated with compressed air from a compressed air cylinder, which is connected via a hose to the compressed air port 17.
  • This is the projectile chamber 12 at the rear end of the tube 11.
  • the projectile chamber has an opening 21 and an inner tube 22 which is axially displaceable together with the axially displaceable locking sleeve 13 to expose the opening 21 and the insertion of a To enable bullet G
  • the closure sleeve 13 is shown with the inner tube 22 and inlaid G in the retracted closed position in which the projectile G is ready to fire in the cannon.
