Patent number: 6691646Abstract: A water lance blower for cleaning heat installations is disclosed. A water lance linked with a water feed conduit system is swivel-mounted with its orifice disposed in a hatch. The water lance can blow a jet of water through the heating installation in operation and through which flames and/or flue gases are guided to wall areas that can be reached from the hatch. The water lance blower is provided with a drive system with at least two drive units that control the water lance, and with a holding device that fastens the water lance blower onto the heating installation. Further, parts of the water feed conduit system are integrated onto the holding device, thereby substantially limiting the size of the water lance blower to the swivel range of the water lance.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2002Date of Patent: February 17, 2004Assignee: Clyde Bergemann GmbHInventors: Franz Bartels, Alois Kessel, Jürgen Schröder, Stephan Simon, Klaus Eimer, Dieter Patzig
