Abstract
The invention relates to an apparatus for transferring cleaning bodies for a heat exchanger through which can flow a cooling fluid. The apparatus requires in the case of discontinuous operation a minimum number of drives operated with external power and has a casing which has an inlet connectable by means of a line to an outlet of the heat exchanger, as well as an outlet; a sink space, which is connected by means of a controllable closable and openable opening with the interior of the casing and an outlet connectable by means of a line to the heat exchanger inlet and a screening means located in the casing and which is positioned between the outlet of the casing on the one hand and the casing inlet on the other. The line linking the outlet of the sink space with the heat exchanger inlet contains a valve controllable by the fluid pressure, and between the outlet of the casing and an inlet of the sink space is provided a pump for delivering water from the casing to the sink space, the pressure of the fluid delivered by the pump being selected in such a way that the controllable valve opens.
