Abstract
A method for cleaning the interior of a boiler wherein a cleaning solution reservoir is mounted within an appliance in which the boiler is housed, and a flow conduit circuit interconnects the reservoir to the boiler and has an eductor 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 method finds particular application is de-scaling boilers employed in steam cooking ovens and the like wherein the boilers are relatively inaccessible.
Claims5
A method for cleaning the interior of a boiler in a cooking oven comprising the steps of:
- connecting the boiler to a water supply through a fluid conduit circuit including eductor means having a first inlet adapted for connection to the water supply, a second inlet connected to a source of cleaning solution, and an outlet connected to the boiler;
- draining the boiler of water;
- introducing cleaning solution into the boiler by passing water through said eductor so as to draw cleaning solution from said source and effect passage to the boiler;
- heating the cleaning solution within the boiler to create a violent steam action within the boiler and effect break-off of residue buildup internally of the boiler;
- and
- draining the cleaning solution and removed residue from the boiler.
