Abstract

PURPOSE:To remove rapidly and completely scales adhering to heat transfer tubes without requiring any chemical solvent and any cleaning operation by actuating a sound generator mounted in a suitable position within a heat exchanger shell thereby to generate a high-volume sound within the heat exchanger shell and to vibrate the heat transfer tubes. CONSTITUTION:Inverted U-shaped heat transfer tubes 1 penetrate through buffer plates 2, and gaps formed therebetween. In order to remove scales, compressed air is sent from a compressor 8 a sound generator 5. On the other hand, the slot of the sound generator 5 is opened or closed by a signal from a controller 7 for controlling the sound generator, compressed air is ejected intermittently from the sound generator 5 to a waveguide 5a. The sound pressure produced upon this occasion is transmitted into each heat transfer tube 1 thereby to vibrate heat transfer tube 1 and to shake to remove scales adhering to the depositing on gaps between the heat transfer tubes 1 and baffle plates 2.

(Prior Art) In the heat exchanger tubes of shell-and-tube heat exchangers used in nuclear power plants, scale adheres and accumulates in the gap between the heat exchanger tubes and the baffle plate through which the heat exchanger tubes pass. That is, as shown in Fig. 4, (1) is a heat exchanger tube, (2) is a baffle plate, and the heat exchanger tube (1) passes through the baffle plate (2), forming a gap (flow path) between them. The fluid outside the tube is designed to flow through this gap, but during long-term use, scale generated due to corrosion of the heat transfer tube (1) and baffle plate (2) adheres to and accumulates in this gap. (see (b) in Figure 5), the gap (flow path) is blocked and the extraluminal fluid stagnates. In addition, if the fluid outside the tube stagnates, corrosion will progress further and the heat transfer tube (1) will be damaged. Conventionally, scale (b) must be removed using chemical solvents, etc.
