BEARING CLEANING

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 fluid feels the pressure change throughout the chamber during the vacuum cycle.

Similar to the pressure your car’s back brakes instantly feel when you apply the brakes, the fluid inside solid channels or tubes forms vapor when the pressure is reduced, and even the smallest space can become an escape route for contaminated fluid at the cleaning site. When the vacuum is paused, fresh fluid can now reenter the target area, and the cleaning process continues.

The video shows how the VCN process can reach hard-to-clean areas. Oils and grease can be shielded from other cleaning methods, such as spray or ultrasonics, but the VCN process treats these internal surfaces just like it treats external surfaces. Bearing grease can’t hide.
