A method of operating a pressure wave generator (1) with a pressure chamber (2), wherein the pressure wave generator (1) comprises a closure element (9) which, in a closed position, closes the pressure chamber (2) with respect to an outlet (15) and, in an open position, allows a working medium to flow out of the pressure chamber (2) into the outlet (15); an actuator by means of which the closure element (9) can be brought from the closed position into the open position and, in particular, can also be brought from the open position into the closed position; wherein the method comprises repeatedly performing the following steps: filling the pressure chamber (2) with a gaseous working medium at a pressure of over one hundred bar; moving the actuator and thereby moving the closure element (9) in an opening direction to open the pressure chamber (2) with respect to the outlet (15), and discharging the pressurized working medium from the pressure chamber (2) through the outlet (15) within a discharge time period of less than fifteen milliseconds.

Abrégé

The invention relates to a pressure wave generator, and to a system and a method for generating a pressure wave, in particular for cleaning a container, e.g. a boiler or pipe. The pressure wave generator comprises a pressure chamber (11, 12) which is precipitable with a working medium via a pressure chamber inlet, with at least two mutually opposite pressure outlets (15), and furthermore comprises an actuator chamber (18) which is precipitable with an actuator medium via an actuator chamber inlet (5), and at least two mutually opposite actuator outlets (8) which are connected to the pressure chamber (11, 12) by a passage. Furthermore, the pressure wave generator comprises a closure element (13) in the pressure chamber (11, 12), said closure element, in a closed position, closing the pressure chamber (11, 12) in relation to the pressure outlets (15) and, in an open position, permitting the working medium to flow out through the pressure outlets (15). In addition, the pressure wave generator comprises an actuator element (6) in the actuator chamber (18), said actuator element, in a closed position, closing the pressure chamber (11, 12) in relation to the actuator outlets (8) and, in an open position, permitting the working medium to flow out through the passage (7) and the actuator outlets (8).
