Diamond Power
G9B Sootblower
Boiler Cleaning Technology
Applications
The G9B is a compact and versatile unit suitable for a wide range of boiler cleaning
applications where ambient temperatures are such that a fixed element sootblower is
feasible. The element type sootblower is widely used for land and marine applications. The
most common useage is on generating banks and economisers, but are also widely used on
oil heaters and air heaters.
Effective cleaning using a typical G9B sootblower system

The application above shows a typical Diamond
G9B sootblower system. The arrangement (A)
shows two convection - section G9B blowers
and (B) two of the four G9B blowers installed in
the economiser at the rear of the boler.
Lane blowing
For, “lane”, blowing applications Diamond’s

supersonic nozzles are located in the
element to blow along the gas path to give
maximum cleaning between the lanes of the
boiler tube.

G9B Sootblower
Mass blowing
For, “mass”, blowing applications, the nozzles
are positioned in the element to provide a
general cleaning effect over the tube bank
instead of blowing through the tube lanes.
The, “mass”, type blowing element has fewer
nozzles of larger diameter than the lane
element.
Multi Nozzle Element

The Diamond-designed elements and element bearings are supplied in variuous specially-
treated steels and alloys suitable for gas temperatures up to 110°C and up to a maximum
length of 6m.
The element nozzle spacing is designed to provide lane blowing between lanes of boiler
tubes or provide an overall cleaning by mass blowing. In both cases, the Diamond supersonic
nozzle design achieves high cleaning efficiency with low coonsumption. The supersonic
nozzle gives a 20% increased efficiency over conventional type nozzles, which results in
greater penetration and higher jet energies for the same consumption.
Where the differential expansion between the boiler and the sootblower head exceeds
16mm, a flexible element connection is supplied. This feature consists of a double ball and
socket joint, and permits normal operation without the need for expensive flexible mounting
arrangements.

Electric Control
The sootblower is driven by an electric motor and controlled by a single limit switch.
Alternative motors and limit switches to suit various operatioal environments, (including
hazardous areas), are also available.
Sootblower mounting
The sootblower may be mounted either horizontally or vertically onto the boiler via a wallsleeve
and mounting flange. The mounting flange is normally supplied with the sootblower ready
for welding to the boiler wallsleeve at site. The mounting flange is bolted to the sootblower
mounting arrangement. This arrangement supports the rotating swivel tube, which feeds the
blowing medium to the element. The sootblower head can be rotated at any angle through 90°
on either side from the normal upright position to accommodate installation interference.
Control Options
The sootblower may be operated from a local push-button station mounted near the
sootblower, or when fitted from a manually operated start level on the limit switch.
On larger applications the G9B sootblowers are integrated into a sootblower sequential
control system operated from a control panel in the boiler control room.
Flexible Poppet Valve

The poppet valve integral with the gooseneck is supplied in either Series 40, 60 or 120 bar
assemblies, depending upon the blowing medium supply pressure. Valve bodies are either
chrome molybdenum or carbon steel, depending upon the blowing medium temperature.
The poppet valve seat and disc are both of flexible construction, to ensure positive sealing.
The action of the trigger depresses the valve stem to open the valve. On completion of the
blowing arc, the trigger drops off the cam and the valve spring returns the valve to the closed
position. A positive closing pin is provided, which acts on the trigger to ensure that the valve
closes at the end of each cycle.
The valve seat surface is stellite-finished to minimise wear and thus reduce maintenance to
the valve.

Adjustable Blowing Arc

The blowing arc is determined by a pre-cut cam which actuates the trigger to automatically
control the action of the blowing medium valve. The position in which the cam is mounted on
the large gear wheel determines the position of the blowing arc. Each sootblower is supplied
with the cam pre-cut and pre-set on the gear wheel, to achieve the designed blowing duration
and coverage for each application.
