Disclosed is an apparatus for cleaning fluid transport pipes in a shell end tube type condenser, which includes a cylindrical sieve arranged in a ball separating tube and adapted to be used as both an outlet pipe for fluid and a ball recovery pipe (8), a ball storage tank (30), and a circulating pump (42) while dispensing with a compressor and a fluid storage device,which are conventionally required, thereby being capable of simplifying the overall configuration, reducing the time and expense required for installation, maintenance, and repair in association with the cleaning of the fluid transport pipes. Balls (10) serving to clean the fluid transport pipe (12) are naturally circulated by the fluid passing through the condenser (11) in accordance with a periodic operation of the circulating pump (42), thereby efficiently cleaning and maintaining the inner surfaces of the fluid transport pipes (12). |
