5 Sootblower Solutions - Types Sootblower Description Principle Wall Blower Cleaning of wall heating surfaces with heavy slagging As steam or water blowers Retractable Sootblower cleaning of heating surface banks with heavy fouling and high flue gas temperatures Part Retractable Sootblower Cleaning of heating surface banks with heavy fouling Blowing tube remains in the flue gas pass 5

6 Content Sootblower solutions Sootblower technology for the furnace Wall blower VS-H Sootblower technology for convective heat exchangers Retractable sootblowers - PS-H, RSG-H, RXC-H Part Retractable sootblowers - PS-HB, RSG-HB Important design features 6

7 Wall blower VS-H Nozzle head is axially moved into the boiler. Blowing process begins as soon as the nozzle head has passed through the tube wall. During the process, the tube wall is cleaned in circular form. On reaching the front end position, the direction of movement changes and the nozzle head returns to its starting position. 7

12 Operating principle Retractable sootblower Blowing medium Steam, air The lance with two opposite, highperformance nozzles helically moves into the flue gas pass. The blowing process may begin as soon as the two nozzles have passed through the boiler wall. During the blowing process the lance tube continues to move helically into the flue gas pass. On reaching the front-side end position the direction of movement changes and the lance tube returns to its starting position. 12

33 Recommended design principals for steam feeding systems Piping arrangement: Inclination for proper draining. Avoid Christmas Tree piping layout. Pre-heating control: Draining temperature controlled, not time controlled. Cleaning sequence: Start with sootblower nearest to the drain station. Short connecting pipe: Secure complete pre-heating; avoid cold pipe parts. 33
