Abstract:
A gripping tool for removing a heat exchanger plate from a furnace wall, the gripping tool including a base having a mechanical attachment device for releasably fixing to a tool end of a boom, and a gripping assembly carriage equipped with at least a fork extending, when in use, substantially horizontally from the gripping assembly carriage. The gripping assembly carriage further includes a clamp assembly having a clamp arm equipped with at least a clamp pad, wherein said clamp arm extends substantially in the direction of the at least one fork and is movable towards and away from the at least one fork for clamping a heat exchanger plate between the fork and the clamp pad.

Claim (Index 25):
A method for removing a heat exchanger plate from a furnace wall during demolition of said furnace after its campaign life, said method comprising the steps of:\n providing a mobile working equipment having a boom with a tool end; providing a griping tool according to  claim 15 ; attaching said gripping tool mechanically with the tool end of the mobile working equipment, so as to be operated by the mobile working equipment; positioning the at least one clamp pad and the at least one fork of the gripping tool at a distance from each other, said distance corresponding to at least a thickness of a heat exchanger plate to be removed; inserting the gripping tool into the furnace wall such that the at least one fork is positioned below a heat exchanger plate to be removed and the at least one clamp pad is positioned above said heat exchanger plate to be removed; moving the clamp pad towards the fork such that the heat exchanger plate to be removed is clamped between the at least one fork and the at least one clamp pad, and removing the heat exchanger plate from the furnace wall by withdrawing the gripping tool away from the furnace wall.
