Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of stripping tubes by the action of a fluid at very high pressure.
  • It relates to a high pressure fluid cleaning device, particularly for the implementation of this method.
  • the present invention is in the field of hydrodynamics.
  • the invention relates more particularly to very high pressure cleaning installations of industrial installations.
  • Cleaning systems known as "Roto-Jet®” or “Roto-Fan®” are known, in which a cleaning head, often referred to as a ferret, generally made of steel and provided with orifices, is propelled into the pipe to be cleaned by the fluid pressure through orifices generating thrusters.
  • the pressure rotates the head, through inclined orifices generating rotating jets, and the flexible sheath that feeds it.
  • the cleaning itself is done under the action of these jets, as well as jets created if necessary at other complementary orifices.
  • the drive of the sheath is therefore the consequence of the control in rotation of the cleaning head under the effect of the hydraulic pressure, or under the impulse of an engine coming to equip this head.
  • the rotation occurs under a hydraulic effect, it goes without saying that one loses in cleaning efficiency because of the hydraulic power absorbed for driving the head.
  • the equipment of a cleaning head of an electric motor gives the latter a section restricting its use by not allowing its use in very small diameter tubes.
  • the scaling of the tubes greatly reduces the diameter. For example, it is common to find, in chillers for nuclear power plants with bundles of tubes with a diameter of 18 mm, a passage limited to about 8 mm, this over lengths of 16 m for example. Moreover, the formation of tartar is not regular, and it is generally found the presence of beads, which further reduce the passage to a value of 4 to 6 mm, if they completely obstruct the tube.
  • the document WO-A1-02 / 059538 shows a method and a device for stripping a tube according to the state of the art.
  • the existing flexible sheaths that would be suitable for such maintenance operations comprise a rotary end tool, but are themselves not driven in rotation along their entire length, or in longitudinal translation.

Above all, they perform a bad stripping, because the advance is not regular. As a result, thus irregularly stripped tubes are conducive to a faster attachment of scale when they are returned to service, in the form of beads.
  • the invention aims to overcome the drawbacks of the state of the art by providing a device for controlling the rotation of a flexible sheath over its entire length, and its translation, so as to optimize the use energy to devote as much as possible to the stripping function, not to the drive and rotation of the head, which in themselves are not productive.
  • the invention relates to a method of stripping a tube by the action of a fluid at a very high pressure according to claim 1.
  • the invention also relates to a high-pressure fluid cleaning device, in particular for the cleaning of tube bundles such as an exchanger or the like according to claim 6.
  • said first means before driving in rotation are synchronized with said rear drive means in rotation.
  • said sheath is flexible.

It makes it possible to provide responses to operators who, while wishing to descale their tubes, do not wish treatment of these blank tubes, but retaining a surface layer resulting from a previous surface treatment, for example a layer particular oxides, for example following "vaccinations" of brass tubes by acid attacks, or a plastic coating or the like.
  • the combination of the rotational speed of the sheath 14, its advance, the fluid flow, and the projection angle of the jets of the front nozzles of the head 13 makes it possible to carry out a test on a first tube 12 until to validation; the process is then perfectly reproducible on all other tubes 12 of the beam 11 concerned, thanks to the perfect control of all parameters.
  • the rotary box 40 provides a great deal of work safety by controlling the parameters, and in particular makes it possible to prevent any rupture of one of the tubes 12 to be cleaned. Its small size, of the order of 350mm cubed, allows to install it near the entrance of the installation 11 to clean. Supply ducts 49 can accommodate multiple flexible sleeves 14 corresponding to the cleaning of tubes 12 different from the installation 11 to clean. In fact, because of the small size of such rotary housings 40, it is possible to juxtapose several of them in order to further increase the number of tubes 12 cleaned simultaneously, and therefore to very substantially reduce the downtime of the industrial installation. 11 to clean. In such a multi-sheath and multi-trolley version, it is interesting to group the rotary housings, or even to integrate them in the same housing.
  • rotary box 40 is entirely autonomous in terms of motorization, and can be used alone, completely independently of a mobile carriage device 17 as described above.
  • the fluid used in the process and the device according to the invention is, in a preferred version, consisting of water or an aqueous solution.
  • this fluid is a liquid gas.
  • the device according to the invention then comprises, at different points, means for measuring and regulating the temperature of the sheath 14, in the form of substations, so as to bring the fluid to the desired temperature at the end of the sheath 14 in a tube 12, in particular at the level of the head 13.
  • a particular application consists in the projection of liquid nitrogen, the management means 48 then regulate the sub-stations preferably to ensure a temperature close to -147 ° C at the end of the sheath 14 in a tube 12, in particular at the head 13. This ensures the output of the jets in liquid form, and then rapid evaporation to avoid any effluent treatment.
  • Other fluids can be projected, including surface protection agents, such as paints, oxides, or the like.
  • the operator of an industrial installation equipped with descaled condensers according to the method and with the device of the invention finds multiple advantages: a power gain of the slice concerned in the case of a power plant, a lowering of the dangerousness and the difficulty for the operators, a reduced duration of the maintenance interventions quickly restoring the availability of the means, the costs of descaling lower, a decrease of the liquid effluents, a possibility of an integral descaling which ensures the gain efficiency of the condenser with the return to the nominal efficiency of the new installation after descaling, a sharp reduction in the consumption of pickling water, or, after thorough descaling, an opportunity to carry out controls, particularly by currents. Foucault to follow the wear of the tubes, which is impossible as long as there is tartar inside.
