Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2013020579A1] A self cleaning heat exchanger device (2a; 2b) comprises at least one heat exchanger (4) having an air inlet side (5a) and an air outlet side (5b); at least one fan (6a, 6b, 6c) arranged adjacent the air outlet side (5b) of the heat exchanger (4) and configured for sucking air through the at least one heat exchanger (4); and at least one cleaning fluid dispensing member (81-89; 91-93) being arranged between the air outlet side (5b) of the at least one heat exchanger (4) and the at least one fan (6a, 6b, 6c). The at least one cleaning fluid dispensing member (81-89; 91-93) comprises at least one fluid dispensing opening (10) which is configured for dispensing a cleaning fluid onto the at least one heat exchanger (4), in particular onto the air outlet side (5b) of the at least one heat exchanger (4) and which extends along and is rotatable around an axis that extends substantially parallel to the air outlet side (5b) of the at least one heat exchanger (4) in order to distribute the cleaning fluid over the at least one heat exchanger (4), in particular over the air outlet side (5b) of the at least one heat exchanger (4).
