  • Automated heat exchanger tube cleaning assembly and system
    Patent number: 8524011
    Abstract: An automated heat exchanger tube cleaning assembly and system are provided. The present system can automatically (without ongoing human intervention) survey the tube sheet of a heat exchanger in three-dimensions, convert and record the survey results as a digital file in three-dimensions, and then, according to sequential parameters input via custom software, automatically coordinate via computer one or more cleaning devices to effect the cleaning of each desired tube of the heat exchanger.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 11, 2011
    Date of Patent: September 3, 2013
    Inventors: John E. Gardner, Pedro E. Amador, William Stamps Howard, James A. Stoner
