DEVICE, SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ON-LINE EXPLOSIVE DESLAGGING

摘要

The explosion-generating device (101) is cooled with non-liquid coolant during cleaning so that the installation does not have to cease operation. An explosion-based system for cleaning out a hot heat exchange installation during operation comprises an explosion device, at least one cooling device (104) for cooling the explosion device with non-liquid coolant, a positioning system (12) for the explosion device, and an ignition means for the explosion device. The cooling device preferably cools the explosion device whilst it is inside the hot heat exchange installation, so that heat from this installation is prevented from prematurely igniting the explosion device. The positioning device is attached to the explosion and cooling devices, both of which are freely movable inside the installation. Independent claims are also included for (a) the explosion device, and (b) a cleaning method using this system.
