Acoustic Cleaning In Power Stations, Power Plants: Economisers

Fouling of economiser heat exchange surfaces is a constant problem for power station engineers, it reduces boiler efficiency leading to lengthy down time for cleaning which can be hard to plan and difficult to carry out safely.

As acoustic cleaners flood the economiser's section with sound for short but regular intervals, build up is removed at a steady and predictable rate without causing particle spikes at the filter leaving an economiser where all the surfaces are free from build up without damage to boiler tubes or refractory linings.
