Patent ID: 7987821

Claim:
A detonation device cleaning system comprising: a vessel having a main body including an outer surface and an inner surface that collectively define an interior chamber; a fuel source including a combustible fuel; an air source including an air flow; and a detonation combustor cleaning device mounted to the vessel and fluidly connected to the fuel source, the air source and the interior chamber, the detonation combustor cleaning device comprising: at least one combustion chamber that defines a combustion flow path, the at least one combustion chamber including a deflection member; an air inlet fluidly connected to the air source and the at least one combustion chamber; a fuel inlet fluidly connected to the fuel source and the at least one combustion chamber; and an ignition device operatively connected to the at least one combustion chamber and arranged downstream of the fuel inlet and the air inlet, the ignition device being selectively activated to ignite fuel within the at least one combustion chamber to produce a shockwave that moves in a first direction along the combustion flow path, impacts the deflection member, reverses direction and passes into the interior chamber to dislodge particles clinging to the inner surface of the vessel.
