Pivoting brush heads and associated machines in which cleaning of interior tube surfaces occurs by a forward non-cleaning pass of a pivoting brush head through a tube followed by a reverse cleaning pass where the pivoting brush head engages and cleans the interior surface. The pivoting brush head has a first position for the forward pass producing minimum engagement of interior tube surfaces, and a second position for the reverse pass of full cleaning engagement with the interior tube surfaces.

Pivoting tube brush

A system for descaling heat exchanger surfaces using a varying concentration of either an acidic or alkaline solution, selecting an optimum pH value for descaling a heat exchanger according to the level of cleaning the heat exchanger requires, monitoring pH value of descaling solution during circulation through a heat exchanger, and adding chemical solution to achieve coincidence of optimum and monitored pH values during descaling operation.

Descaling system for heat exchange equipment

An apparatus and method for cleaning coils and fins of outdoor condenser units and the like in locations without electrical service wherein the apparatus comprises containers for water and cleaning chemical, a plumbing system for preparing and delivering a cleaning mixture, an electrical system for power, and wherein the method provides for cleaning coils by directing cleaning mixture through the coils in counter-flow to cooling air drawn through the coils by a condenser unit fan.

Apparatus and method for cleaning HVAC coils

A tube cleaning machine in which cleaning interior tube surfaces occurs by a forward non-cleaning pass of cleaning implement through work tube followed by reverse cleaning pass where implement engages and cleans interior surface. Cleaning implement has first position for forward pass producing minimum engagement of interior fire-tube surface, and a second position for reverse pass of full cleaning engagement with interior fire-tube surface. A distance indicator enables operator to select distance of forward pass of cleaning implement to correspond with tube length.

A launcher for heat exchanger tube cleaning projectiles using operator selected compressed air application for manipulating launcher operating components including hydraulic bolt, projectile plunger, and water valve to fire projectile with pressurized water, and to reset operating components for subsequent projectile firings. Launcher has means for venting heat exchanger tube over- or under-pressure occurring in practice, and further has visual indicator of force applied in firing projectiles, and of tube being clear after exiting of projectile from the tube.

Launcher for tube cleaning projectiles

A machine for cleaning coils in HVAC installations including particularly the coils located in outdoor HVAC units and coils located in interior ductwork the machine comprising a shell housing enclosing cleaning fluids, an electrical system for line power or battery operation, and a fluid control system for selecting cleaning fluid and the pressure and volume of fluid applied in cleaning coils.
