Hardware

A WaveMasterTM Acoustic Cleaning systems consist of one or multiple Acoustic Cleaners, a controller, and in most case a dedicated air supply unit.

Each system is custom designed and engineered for your cleaning application, allowing you to use it for a wide variety of cleaning requirements.

The hardware is designed to be operated continuous, so you can handle a wide variety of cleaning requirements.

WaveMaster(TM) Acoustic Cleaner

 

WaveMaster™ Acoustic Cleaner

The WaveMaster™ Acoustic Cleaner is a quarter wave resonator tube designed to produce sound energy at predetermined frequencies, typical in the 10 – 60 Hz range. Each Acoustic Cleaner is custom build to operate at the desired frequency for your cleaning application.

At the closed end of the resonator tube is our WaveMasterTM Pulser which is the industrial equivalent of the mouthpiece or reed on the saxophone or clarinet, it initiates the sound wave. This where the sound is produced which then gets amplified by the principle of quarter wave resonance.  

The resonator tube amplifies the sound waves, which then get spread out, by means of a cone, to the opening through the duct. 

Quarter Wave Resonance is an efficient method to produce sound concentrated at a single frequency

The Acoustic Cleaner is mounted externally to the boiler or duct and it can be maintained while the boiler is on-line

 

Controller

A controller cycles the Acoustic Cleaner between clean and purge in virtually continuous operating cycle. 

User interface with the Acoustic Cleaning System is from a LCD touch screen on the face of the controller. A single controller can handle multiple Acoustic Cleaners and air supply units.

Cycle times, air sources, and alarm levels are all user programmable.

Each Acoustic Cleaner has its unique alarm indication. Inadequate performance is displayed locally, in the control room, or through our Remote Interface at a location of your choosing.

 

Air Supply

Each Acoustic Cleaner requires low pressure air to operate. Although it is possible to user plant air, this is not energy efficient. Most of our customer chose for a dedicated air supply.

The Air Supply Unit is skid mounted and contains a tri-lobe positive displacement type blower, electric motor, filter, silencers, etc. 

Ventilated enclosures are also available for meeting sound emission requirements.

Air Supply Units are conservatively sized to meet cleaning cycles at the lowest operating cost possible.

Interface with Plant Control System

A wide variety of options are available to interface with a plant control system. Options include wires ModBus, ModBus over Ethernet, and Modbus over wireless.

 

Remote monitoring

All our controllers can be monitored remotely as part of our Premium Services Package.
