Abstract
A cleaning system for cleaning the interior of a boiler wherein the system includes a cleaning solution reservoir adapted for mounting within an appliance in which the boiler is housed, and a flow conduit circuit having eductor means operative to draw cleaning solution from the reservoir and pass it to the interior of the associated boiler when water under pressure is introduced into the eductor. The system finds particular application in descaling boilers employed in steam cooking ovens and the like wherein the boilers are relatively inaccessible.
Claims14
In a boiler apparatus having a generally upstanding cabinet, a boiler disposed within the cabinet and being of the type in which a residue may build up during use, the combination therewith comprising a cleaning system including:
- a reservoir supported within the cabinet and adapted to receive a liquid cleaning agent;
- educator means having a first inlet port adapted for connection to a water supply, a second inlet port, and an outlet port;
- first fluid conduit means interconnecting said second inlet port to said reservoir;
- and
- second fluid conduit means interconnecting said outlet port to said boiler;
- said educator means being operable to draw cleaning liquid from said reservoir when water is introduced under pressure into said first inlet port, and effect flow of admixed cleaning liquid and water to the boiler, said reservoir having a fill tube accessible from externally of a side of the cabinet to enable filling of the reservoir with a cleaning agent.
Boiler apparatus comprising, in combination:
- a cabinet having upstanding walls defining an internal compartment;
- a boiler supported within said compartment and being of the type in which a residue may build up during use;
- a reservoir supported within said cabinet and adapted to receive a liquid cleaning agent therein;
- pump means adapted for connection to a water supply;
- first fluid conduit means interconnecting said pump means to said reservoir;
- and second fluid conduit means interconnecting said pump means to said boiler;
- said pump means being operable to receive cleaning liquid for the reservoir and water from the water supply and effect flow of admixed cleaning liquid and water to the boiler, said reservoir having a fill tube accessible from externally of a side of said cabinet to enable operator filling of the reservoir with a cleaning agent without interrupting operation of the boiler.
