摘要

A method and apparatus for removing adherent deposits from high temperature surfaces such as the fire sides of the tubes of boilers while steaming is disclosed as employing a sootblower to project a moving pulsed jet of liquid against the deposits. The peak impact pressure of the jet is increased by pulsing means disclosed as of a fluidic or rotary type.
