Abstract

See full text

A cleaning apparatus includes a cable with spacers along the length of the cable for insertion into a tube with bends. Each of the spacers have a sphere-like body and have a diameter that is approximately the same as an inner diameter of the tube. Each neighboring pair of spacers are spaced apart from each other at approximately the same distance as the inner diameter of the tube. The cleaning apparatus is suited for passing through tubing within cracking furnaces and heat exchangers, which typically have many U-bends.
