Abstract
A cleaning apparatus suitable for cleaning a horizontally curved metal tower can include a fluid directing channel configured to receive pressurized fluid from a fluid source; a slider or wheel positioned to contact and vertically traverse the horizontally curved metal tower; and a standoff which separates the fluid directing channel spatially from the slider or wheel. The apparatus can also include sprayer nozzles fluidly coupled to the fluid directing channel which can be directed toward or beyond the slider or wheel. A magnet can also be positioned on the apparatus that is configured to interact magnetically to pull the cleaning apparatus toward the horizontally curved metal tower, but the magnet is not close enough to touch the horizontally curved metal tower when the slider or wheel is in contact with the horizontally curved metal tower.
