Oscillating Sootblower

The Oscillating sootblower is designed for the selected cleaning of specific boiler segments with heavy fouling in power plants, waste-to-energy facilities, biomass stations and pulp and paper mill.
The key feature is the oscillating movement of the cleaning element.
Principle of cleaning
Retractable oscillating sootblower / PS-P/RS-P
- The blowing tube with two high-performance nozzles is oscillated (PS-P/RS-P)
- The blowing process begins as soon as the two nozzles have passed through the boiler wall
- During the blowing process the blowing tube continues to oscillate and move into the flue gas path
- On reaching the front-side end position the direction of movement changes and the blowing tube returns to its rest position
Part retractable oscillating sootblower / PS-PB/RS-PB
- The blowing tube with two high-performance nozzles is equipped with high performance nozzles over the whole length and is movably supported in the flue gas path
- The blowing process begins as soon as the two nozzles have passed through the boiler wall
- During the blowing process the blowing tube continues to oscillate and move into the flue gas path
- On reaching the front-side end position the direction of movement changes and the blowing tube returns to its rest position
Features
- Integrated stop valve for comfortable adjustment of the blowing pressure
- High-performance nozzles for maximum conversion of steam pressure to jet velocity for high cleaning efficiency
- Travel monitoring by limit switch
- Integrated gear motor for advance and rotating movement
- RS type with double-rack drive design for minimum stress and high stability
Your Benefits
- Extended boiler availability and increased boiler efficiency
- Controllable deposit build-up regardless of flexible boiler operation and changing fuel mixture or varying fuel quality
- Prevents fouling in the superheater and blockages in the air heater and economisers
- Maximises thermal efficiency and reduces gas exit temperatures
- Maintains balanced heat transfer in the boiler as close as possible to design parameters
- Clyde Bergemann sootblowers are reliable and simple to maintain
- The Clyde Bergemann design optimises cleaning effect and minimises consumption of steam, water and air
