  • Patent number: 7730979
    Abstract: An apparatus for cleaning a bank of tubing includes a small, portable, mobile, remote controlled cart that travels over the surface of the banking of tubing and directs at least one high pressure fluid jet onto the surfaces of the tubes comprising the banks of tubing over which the cart is traveling. A method of cleaning the exterior of a bank of tubing includes traversing a small, portable, mobile, remote controlled cart over the surface of the bank of tubing, and directing a high pressure water generally downwardly toward the tubing as the cart traverses the surface of the bank of tubing.

  • Patent number: 7682466
    Abstract: An apparatus is provided that includes a length of pipe having a passageway for communicating a liquid under pressure therethrough, and at least one nozzle in communication with the passageway. The at least one nozzle is configured to discharge a liquid, a portion of which is discharged in a stream, and a portion of which is discharged in a volume of aspirated spray. The aspirated spray effectively shields the pipe and the at least one nozzle from heat radiating within the enclosure. The apparatus further includes a displacement device for controllably displacing the length of pipe. The length of pipe and at least one nozzle are configured to be extended through an opening in the enclosure for discharging a stream of liquid for cleaning a surface within the enclosure.
