Abstract
In order to achieve effective cleaning of an inlet side of a catalytic converter in a combustion system, in particular a large-scale internal combustion engine system, a cleaning device having a cleaning brush for mechanically removing deposits is provided on the inlet side. The cleaning brush effectively and reliably removes and swirls up the deposits which have been formed, which are carried away with the exhaust gas in the flow direction through the catalytic converter.
Claims14
A combustion system, comprising:
- an exhaust duct for carrying away an exhaust gas;
- a catalytic converter disposed in said exhaust duct and through which the exhaust gas can flow for catalytic exhaust gas cleaning, said catalytic converter having inlet openings formed therein for the exhaust gas on an inlet side;
- and
- a cleaning device disposed on said inlet side, said cleaning device having a cleaning brush for mechanical removal of deposits on said inlet side.
A method for cleaning a catalytic converter installed in an exhaust duct of a combustion system, which comprises the step of:
- removing deposits from an inlet side of the catalytic converter using a cleaning brush.
