摘要： A heat exchanger has a plurality of fluid flow tubes secured adjacent their ends by tube sheets. Cleaning elements are adapted to shuttle back and forth in the tubes and are adapted to be captured by baskets. A basket retaining plate is fixedly mounted, as by bolts or the like, in spaced relationship outwardly from the outer tube sheet face. The plate and its mount cooperate with the tube sheet to hold the baskets in fixed position relative to the tube sheet and tube ends. The outer capturing and holding portions of the baskets extend outwardly from the retaining plate. The baskets include central or intermediate portions which extend through openings in the plate and inner portions which extend through the space between the plate and tube sheet and which terminate within the tube sheet openings. The baskets are fixedly secured against transverse shifting by a two-point support, one at the inner basket ends and one intermediate their ends. To hold the baskets in longitudinally fixed position, and in one embodiment, the basket intermediate portions are threaded to the retaining plate. In another embodiment, shoulders adjacent the inner basket ends engage the plate and tube sheet. The retaining plate is of lesser diameter than the tube sheet and is provided with unobstructed fluid flow openings between the baskets and basket-receiving openings.

摘要： A heat exchanger has a plurality of fluid flow tubes secured adjacent their ends by tube sheets. Cleaning elements are adapted to shuttle back and forth in the tubes and are adapted to be received by capturing cages. The inner ends of the cleaning element capturing cages are provided with enlarged collars having generally semi-circular flanges providing inclined undercut seats. The heat exchanger tube ends extend fully through the openings in the tube sheets and are provided with annular flared lips extending outwardly from the outer tube sheet faces. The cages are mounted directly to the tubes by bringing the collar seats down into hanging engagement with the tube lips.

摘要： A plurality of elongated tube cleaning element capturing cages of different lengths are mounted within the heat exchanger chamber. The cages are so constructed and positioned so that fluid discharging outwardly from the cages flows laterally in a plurality of transverse planular layers. Fluid discharging laterally through the openings of the shorter cages impinges against closed wall portions of the longer cages, with the openings of the longer cages being disposed axially beyond the openings of the shorter cages. The longer and shorter cages may be arranged in substantially alternating relationship. In the event that some longer or shorter cages are disposed directly adjacent each other, openings of adjacent similar length cages are disposed in generally facing relationship with imperforate portions of the adjacent similar length cage.

摘要： A fluid flow diverter includes a housing and a rotatable sleeve mounted for rotation on an axle and spaced inwardly from the housing walls. The sleeve and housing include ports which are selectively positioned in registered or unregistered relationship, depending upon which of two operative positions the sleeve assumes. The sleeve forms a single internal chamber through which fluid always flows in the same direction in both operative positions of the sleeve. The space between the sleeve and housing also forms a single chamber through which fluid always flows in the same direction in both operative positions of the sleeve. The unidirectional fluid flow through the sleeve itself is opposite to the unidirectional fluid flow through the external chamber between the housing and sleeve. The supporting connection between the cylindrical sleeve and housing walls occurs adjacent the registered sleeve and housing ports by means of mating peripheral supporting surfaces. In either position of the sleeve, the unused or unregistered sleeve ports face the interior wall of the housing with their supporting surfaces spaced therefrom. A filler member is mounted to the housing interior wall adjacent the position of each unregistered sleeve supporting surface. In actual use of a diverter in connection with a tube type heat exchanger or similar process device, there will be a fluid pressure differential between the supply and return sides within the diverter itself, due to the pressure drop caused by the tube restrictions. The supply side will have a higher pressure than the return side. The result is that water from the supply side will tend to flow through the narrow gaps between the sleeve supporting surfaces and the housing supporting surfaces and/or the filler members in a direction from the supply or high pressure side toward the return or low pressure side. The direction of flow through the gaps will be the same for both rotary positions of the sleeve, due to the aforementioned unidirectional fluid flow. Any loose particles of corrosion products which may appear at the various gap interfaces will tend to be washed through to the other side and not get stuck.

摘要： A shuttle assembly is provided which includes a spring cleaning element secured at each end to mounting members which are freely slideable on a longitudinal axial rod. The rod is longer than the cleaning element in its normal extended position so that the cleaning element can shuttle back and forth on the rod. Stop members are secured to the end portions of the rod. When either rod end engages a capturing device at the end of a heat exchanger tube, inertia causes the cleaning element to slide forwardly until the adjacent mounting member tappingly engages the adjacent stop member of the assembly, causng undesirable material on the cleaning element to drop off. The mounting members are of a lesser O.D. (Outside Diameter) than the I.D. (Inside Diameter) of the pipe and are also of a lesser O.D. than the O.D. of the normally extended cleaning element. The O.D. of the cleaning element is such as to allow for transverse rattling engagement with the inner tube wall during shuttling.

摘要： A heat exchanger has a plurality of fluid flow tubes through which shuttle type cleaning elements are carried by the fluid, the direction of which is reversable. The cleaning elements are captured adjacent the tube ends by a transverse plate having cleaning element receiving openings therein. The plate is adapted to be mounted so that the openings register with the tube ends, and the plate openings are of sufficient length to contain the cleaning elements. At least some of the plate openings are connected by fluid flow slots which also communicate with the end chamber of the heat exchanger. A cleaning element stop device is disposed at the outer ends of the plate openings so that the cleaning elements are retained therein.
