Abstract

A cleaning system for removing undesirable material from an outer surface of a critical or sensitive element relatively moving in a fluid comprises a tubular duct for the flow of the fluid medium and having an entrance end an exit end. The entrance end is oriented generally in the opposite direction of the relatively moving fluid to receive the fluid medium. The tubular duct narrows down in cross-sectional area to define a Venturi section at the exit end thereby substantially increasing the exit fluid flow velocity. The exit end is placed adjacent to and generally directed toward the outer surface causing the high-velocity exit fluid stream to remove the undesirable materials through the momentum thereof.
