Cleaning By Internal Penetration of Parts
Bearing Cleaning Demonstrates the Power of VCN
Like the initial vapor bubble formation in a boiling pot of water, VCN bubbles tend to form in tight areas, such as the crevices in the pot where water begins to boil. Vapor bubbles expel fluid and contaminants from the area, and collapsing bubbles draw in fresh fluid. The cycle is in seconds so that fluid turnover in the part’s internal surfaces is rapid. The agitation generated during vapor formation helps remove particles and surface contaminants.
1. Pack your parts. VCN pressure is uniform throughout the chamber, even under adjoining surfaces.
2. Clean at lower temperatures if your part has sensitive materials.
3. Clean in a controlled environment. Keep out the ambient surroundings.
4. Vacuum dry to prevent spotting. Reduce solvent loss, or use lower surfactant concentrations for cost savings.
5. Vacuum distill to concentrate waste and recycle solvent for additional operating cost savings.
Bearing Cleaning Demonstrates the Power of VCN
The video shows how VCN can form vapor bubbles in very small spaces. Devices that could not previously be cleaned can now be cleaned, sterilized, and dried using the VCN process. VCN at low vacuum or low temperature can reveal the primary location of vapor bubble generation in a part. A bearing is seen in the video.
