Dry Ice Blasting for HRSG Cleaning

Dry ice blasting uses solid carbon dioxide particles propelled by high pressure gas or centrifugal force to remove surface contaminants through non-solvent methods. The dry ice particles impact surfaces, causing thermal shock that embrittles and loosens contaminants for removal by air flow and expansion as the CO2 sublimates. The summary discusses the basic dry ice blasting process and its use in cleaning applications as an established alternative to solvent-based cleaning.

ABSTRACT

DRY ICE BLASTING FOR CLEANING

The use of solid carbon dioxide (or dry ice) blasting has been
developed as an established non-solvent, dry method for removing
surface contaminants in a variety of cleaning applications. The basic
principle is based on the impact of dry ice particles, propelled by a
high pressure gas or a centrifugal accelerator, on the surface of the
part. Thermal shock from the very cold ice causes embrittlement and
loosening of the contaminants, which are removed by the air flow
and the large volume expansion from the subliming CO2. A discussion
of the process is provided along with description of the cleaning
systems employing dry ice blasting. The advantages and
disadvantages of dry ice blasting are discussed, along with cost
considerations. Several applications of dry ice blasting in different
industries are described.
