Abstract

A carbon particulates cleaning device comprises a carbon particulates catching means, a fuel injecting means, a fuel retaining means for retaining the fuel injected by the fuel injecting means near the carbon particulates catching means, a fuel igniting means for igniting the fuel retained by the fuel retaining means, and a gas blowing means which blows gas for maintaining the fuel burning and applying the heat of the burning fuel into the carbon particulates caught by the carbon particulates catching means. The carbon particulates caught by the carbon particulates catching means are effectively burnt and eliminated by supplying gas which is heated due to the burning heat of the fuel ignited by the fuel igniting means.
