How does acoustic cleaning work?

Acoustic cleaner causes a sound pressure pulse which will detach the particles from the surfaces. The deposits adhering to the surface are subjected to a force greater than that retaining it. The particles with different masses are subjected to alternating … Continue reading

Can the outside noise level be reduced somehow?

The outside noise level can be reduced to under 85 dB measured from one meter distance of the generator by using a proper sound insulation box. Nirafon can provide these boxes or instructions and drawings to make proper sound insulation … Continue reading

In case of gas leakage in NCSD®, can there be an explosion inside the boiler causing risk to the boiler structures?

When the NSCD® is operating the controlled explosions happen inside the combustion chamber of the cleaner. If, however, there is a gas leakage in the gas valves and the gas gets into the boiler, the amount of gas will be … Continue reading

Does the acoustic cleaning cause some risks to boiler structures?

- Nirafon acoustic cleaners use only acoustic frequencies (audible to human ear 16…16000Hz). The natural frequency of boiler structures is below this acoustic level. Frequencies below 20 Hz could cause the structures to resonate because of the sound and cause … Continue reading
