The IMPULSE® Cleaning System supersonically ignites fuel and air to create a strong impulse, or shock wave.

Unlike conventional soot blowers, the cleaning action of the IMPULSE® System does not damage boiler tubes.

We have installed more than 100 systems over the last ten years and have proven to increase heat transfer, while decreasing or eliminating unplanned boiler outages.

No, it is just the characteristics of ash or particulate deposits.

The IMPULSE® System is not recommended for molten deposits.

In some cases, The IMPULSE® System can be installed in less than 2 hours while the boiler is online. Additional time may be required for installation of gas and electrical connections. Installation time will vary by application.

It varies based on the size and configuration of the boiler. Our Engineering team will help you determine the optimal installation parameters. Typical installations range from 2 to 6 IMPULSE® systems.

This technology is most apt for friable deposits and has had great success from Superheaters to economizers of boilers burning high ash coal. It is equally effective with staggered and inline, and finned and smooth tubes and has had great success with tubular air heaters, and “avalanche control” in ducting.

Usually through access doors or soot blower ports, thus avoiding bending tubes. The IMPULSE® system can also retrofit existing 75 Hz acoustic horn installations by replacing the ‘A’ section.

No tube erosion, no steam usage, omnidirectional cleaning pattern, easy installation, improved heat transfer efficiency, reduced opacity spikes, much lower maintenance costs.

We recommend starting with a clean boiler, but the IMPULSE System can be effective on an already fouled boiler.

If the boiler is clean, the system will operate every 15-30 minutes, 10-20 pulses per cleaning cycle. For fouled boilers, you will need to operate the system more aggressively until deposits are removed.
