Abstract

Systems and methods for cleaning a heat recovery steam generator system including tubes and fins associated therewith using deep cleaning alignment equipment are described. The deep cleaning alignment equipment primarily includes at least one wedge and at least one wand. The wedge may be an elongate wedge configured to maximize the surface area that contacts the tubes and fins, which in turn minimizes the amount of stress about any specific point of the tubes or the fins. Additionally, the wedge may be made of a variety of different materials. The wedge may be releasably secured to a plate to improve ease with which the wedge may be driven into tubes and fins. The wedge may also include wedge halves that are movable between expanded and collapsed positions.
