Method and apparatus for cleaning elongated tubes |
摘要 |
A system and method for cleaning elongated tubes is presented. An apparatus for cleaning elongated tubes includes a cart, a lance, a pressure sensing device and a propulsion device. The lance sprays material into elongated tubes to clean the elongated tubes. The cart supports the lance while the cart is moves in a rail in a forward direction and in a reverse direction. The pressure sensing device is located in the cart detects a pressure exerted on the cart as the cart moves in a forward direction in the rail. The propulsion device, upon the pressure sensing device detecting a pressure crossing a threshold value, propels the cart in the reverse direction for predetermined distance or time before again propelling the first cart in the forward direction. |

1. An apparatus for cleaning elongated tubes comprising:
a lance for spraying material into elongated tubes to clean the elongated tubes; a cart supporting the lance, wherein the cart is configured to move along a rail in a forward direction and in a reverse direction; a pressure sensing device located in the cart configured to detect a pressure exerted on the cart as the cart moves in a forward direction in the rail; and a propulsion device configured to, upon the pressure sensing device detecting a pressure crossing a threshold value, propel the cart in the reverse direction for predetermined distance before again propelling the first cart in the forward direction. |
