Abstract
Apparatus for extracting cleaning bodies from a cooling liquid after flowing through the tubes of a heat exchanger as a pipe section casing with at least one layer of screens arranged in a V-shaped manner mounted to be pivoted for through-washing includes a device for receiving the cleaning bodies collected in a strip-like section from both screens and a guide member arranged above the device for aligning the cooling fluid flow more parallel to the screen surfaces directly upstream from the strip section. The apparatus is characterized in that the guide member is provided with two vortex members running parallel to the strip section with each vortex member being associated with one of the two screens to form one vortex zone with at least one point within the vortex zone terminating in an opening of a pipe for sucking off the cleaning bodies.
