    Abstract: The present invention relates to coating of tubes, and more particularly to a system and method for coating and/or renovating deteriorated or pitted tubes to extend tube life and enhance performance. Using this system and method a thin coating is applied to the interior of a tube such that the coating is uniform in thickness and covers all regions of the tube. The coating material may be selected to minimize changes in heat transfer or may be selected to provide for the change in working fluid within the tube such that the working fluid does not negatively interact with the tube material.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to the coating of tubes, and more particularly to a system and method for renovating deteriorated or pitted tubes to extend tube life and enhance performance. Using this system and method a thin coating is applied to the interior of a tube such that the coating is uniform in thickness, spans existing erosion elements or cracks within the inner surface of the tube and covers all regions of the tube.

    Abstract: A system and a method for renovating the inner surface (20, 22) of deteriorated or pitted tubes (18) are disclosed. The system includes: a tube cleaner; a pig device (10) with a main body portion (12); a coating applicator (16) disposed at a first end of the main body portion (12) of the pig device (10); and an end flange (14) disposed at a second end of the main body portion (12) of the pig device (10). The tube cleaner is utilized to condition the tube (18) for receiving the coating material. The coating applicator (16) is configured to distribute the coating material onto the inner surface (20, 22) of the tube (18). The end flange (14) is configured to wipe excess coating material from the inner surface (20, 22) of the tube (18). The method includes: providing a coating material in a tube; positioning a pig device (10) in the tube ( 18); and motivating the pig device (10) through the tube (18) to apply the coating material onto the inner surface (20, 22) of the tube (18). The pig device (10) is sized and orientated to disperse the coating material along the tube's inner surface (20, 22).
