Abstract:
An explosives-based system for deslagging a hot online heat-exchange device, comprising:an explosive device;at least one cooling apparatus cooling said explosive device particularly while said explosive device is at any desired location within said hot online heat exchange device, thereby preventing heat from said hot online heat exchange device from detonating said explosive device prior to a time when it is desired to detonate at will said explosive device;a cooling apparatus and explosive positioning system with said at least one cooling apparatus and said explosive device cooled thereby affixed thereto, enabling a force applied to said cooling apparatus and explosive positioning system to freely move said at least one cooling apparatus and said explosive device cooled thereby to said any desired location within said hot online heat exchange device and particularly into a proper position for deslagging, while cooling said explosive device; and detonating means for detonating at will said explosive device.
