Ultrasonic Cleaning Process
Some Myths and facts
.
There are numerous misconceptions related with ultrasonic cleaning
processes, they include: -
Ø The louder the cleaner the better
Poor insulation or a low frequency system maybe the main cause of loudness.
Ø The quiter the cleaner the better
Higher frequency operation and good insulation may lead to quitness.
Ø Visual observation or ultrasonic power meter, the best option
They are the perfect means of judging a cleaner
Factors in Cavitation
The numerous factors that are responsible for cavitation are as follows: -
Frequency - higher the frequency the faster the cavitation and vice-versa.
Physical properties of cleaning agent - these include attributes like:
-
· Viscosity
· Vapor pressure
· Temperature
· Density
The ultrasonic cleaning process
Ultrasonic cleaning mechanism is a an effect created by the action
of sound waves at high frequency, introduced into liquid cleaning medium.
The process consists of four major components like: -
· Transducer
· Generator
· Tank
· Cleaning solution
