Pipe and heat exchanger cleaning THUNDER- Electrohydropulse units TORNADO- air pistol ULTRASONIC DEVICE FOR PREVENT FORMATION OF DEPOSIT “THUNDER-SONIC”
I. THUNDER- Electrohydropulse units: A range of devices designed for cleaning pipes ranging from 7 to 600 mm I.D. The outstanding feature of the ® THUNDER units is their ability to remove any scale and deposit. Main applications for THUNDER® units: Heat exchangers; Boilers Heating, water supply and drainage systems; Pipelines; Blow wells; Other types of pipes (oil-well tubing, apparatus in aluminium smelting works, crude oil preheaters, electric furnace cooling systems etc.). The principle behind the operation of THUNDER® units:
The principle is based on the exploitation of the energy of a high voltage discharge in water. The discharge produces a shock wave and hydrodynamic flows that destroy scale and deposits without damaging the pipe (see the drawing).
The benefits of cleaning using THUNDER® units: Almost any kind of scale or deposit is removed. Cleaning is thorough, "down to the metal", which significantly delays the formation of new scale; It is possible to clean complex pipe structures, including spirals; Low cost of consumables, absence of wear parts; Cleaning is performed on site, no need to dismantle equipment; The equipment being cleaned is not damaged and its service life is not diminished; The equipment is easy to use and maintain; Environmentally friendly ®

III. ULTRASONIC DEVICE FOR PREVENT FORMATION OF DEPOSIT “THUNDER-SONIC” « THUNDER-SONIC » is a line of modified ultrasonic devices. These devices are used to prevent formation of deposits in boilers, heat exchangers, water supply and heating pipes. Magnetostrictors installed on the equipment to be protected excite ultrasonic frequency vibrations in metal. This completely inhibits the formation of any fouling, moreover, existing deposits become flocculent within 16 months of the introduction of THUNDER-SONIC and can be easily removed either by THUNDER® units or mechanically or by pneumatic flushing. As time goes on, sediments are often completely spontaneously removed. "THUNDER-SONIC A", an explosion-proof version, is designed for the gas and oil-refining and petrochemical industries.. Configuration: The device consists of an electrical pulse generator and magnetostrictors, which are designed as non-linear acoustic resonance emitters with a center frequency 22 KHz. Different types of generators and different numbers of magnetostrictors are used depending on the type and dimensions of the heating equipment.
THUNDER-SONIC-2
THUNDER-SONIC – IP65
Application: - heat exchangers (including plate-type heat exchangers) - water-heating and steam boilers (including fire-tube boilers) - water supply and heating systems THUNDER-SONIC is very effective for protection from any kind of sediments. Due to formation of small turbulent layer behind the heated wall THUNDER-SONIC also initiates another positive effects, such as: - inhibition of oxidation (burning) of fluids in heaters which are being used for various oils, chocolate, milk etc. - increasing heat transfer from hot wall into heated media (2-3% appxs.)
