Abstract: A system and method for cleaning a sintered filter includes a cleaning fluid source and a cleaning nozzle. The cleaning nozzle includes an inlet end coupled to the cleaning fluid source and at least one outlet port for outputting the cleaning fluid injected through the cleaning nozzle. The outlet port is disposed proximate to an outlet end of the cleaning nozzle. The cleaning nozzle has an external width less than an internal width of the sintered filter to be cleaned. The cleaning nozzle has a nozzle length greater than a full depth of the sintered filter to be cleaned. The outlet port can be disposed in a side of the cleaning nozzle proximate to the outlet end of the cleaning nozzle. The outlet port can include more than one outlet ports.
