Abstract
In a device to clean a component of deposits, at least one first nozzle unit is positioned to spray a fluid at an angle onto a surface of the component that is to be cleaned, the first nozzle unit being provided opposite a border region of the surface of the component that is to be cleaned. At least one second nozzle unit generates a flow of a gaseous medium over the surface to be cleaned and is provided adjacent to edge of the border region of the surface of the component that is to be cleaned.

A device to clean a component of deposits, comprising:
- at least one first nozzle unit positioned to spray a fluid at an angle onto a surface of the component that is to be cleaned and which is provided opposite a border region of the surface of said component that is to be cleaned;
- and
- at least one second nozzle unit that generates a flow of a gaseous medium over the surface to be cleaned and which is provided adjacent to an edge of the border region of the surface of the component that is to be cleaned.
A method to clean a component of deposits, comprising the steps of:
- providing at least one first nozzle unit positioned to spray a fluid at an angle onto a surface of the component that is to be cleaned and which is provided opposite of a border region of the surface of said component that is to be cleaned;
- providing at least one second nozzle unit that generates a flow of a gaseous medium over the surface to be cleaned and which is provided adjacent to an edge of the border region of the surface of the component that is to be cleaned;
- with the first nozzle unit spraying said fluid at said angle onto said border region;
- generating said flow of said gaseous medium over said surface to be cleaned with said second nozzle unit;
- and
- adjusting and directing said flow of the gaseous medium generated by the second nozzle unit such that the fluid is distributed only over the surface to be cleaned during a cleaning interval.
