Diamond Power® HydroJet® Furnace Cleaning System
Applications include division, furnace and wing walls. The HydroJet furnace cleaning system is capable of accurately
cleaning the entire width of the furnace. It controls thermal impact while cleaning previously hard-to-reach services
inside many utility boilers. Compared to previous water cleaning systems, the HydroJet furnace cleaning system is
Accurate
To minimize disruptions to boiler operation, boiler
side walls and division walls are divided into targeted
cleaning zones. The HydroJet furnace cleaning system’s
advanced control interface allows the operator to assess
slag build-up and clean only selected zones, or all zones
through an automatic sequence which maintains the
desired overall furnace heat transfer while still properly
protecting the furnace walls. Sequences are customized
for each boiler to minimize water wall circulation upsets
and furnace pressure excursions, while avoiding overlap
of successive cleaning passes, splashing or draining
onto unintended surfaces. The water nozzle control
system incorporates open-loop vector drives for rapid
response.

Flexible Convenient
In addition to its adaptable cleaning areas (up to 20 The controls (PLC and associated electrical hardware)
different programmable patterns per HydroJet device), may be located in a convenient, climate controlled area
it moves at a ±45° angle, in both the horizontal and up to 1000 cable ft (305 m) from the HydroJet cleaning
vertical directions. At the same time, each discrete device(s). Our latest design uses local variable frequency
cleaning zone is automatically self-tuned for the drives at each HydroJet device to improve reliability and
optimum jet progression velocity and water flow to reduce interconnecting wiring expenses. The system
rate that can control the thermal shock to achieve also includes a local touch-screen interface which can be

targeted cleaning services with water jet coherence and manual operation. The HydroJet furnace cleaning
while minimizing impact on furnace pressure and heat system is also designed for installation in tight spaces,

Improved technology that works
The Diamond Power HydroJet furnace water cleaning system provides boiler operators with accurate pattern control,
nozzles which deliver a coherent water jet to the wall over long distances, unmatched mechanical reliability, and cleaning
flexibility. Our customers are supported by our team of performance engineers and their many years of ensuring
successful furnace water cleaning projects. The long-standing Tube Life Database program is also provided at no
additional cost to ensure that thermal impact on boiler tube life is monitored while achieving optimum cleaning results.
