Abstract

PURPOSE:To effectively perform the ultrasonic washing with an org. solvent such as fluorocarbon by using an airtight washing tank as a washing tank and arranging a pressure changing means and a temp. control means in the tank. CONSTITUTION:The pressure in an airtight washing tank 1 is changed by a pressurizer 2 and a pressure reducing device 3. Further, the solvent temp. in the tank 1 is changed by a freezer 5. By changing the pressure and solvent temp. in the tank 1 as mentioned above, a large number of genuine cavitations are generated in a solvent and ultrasonic washing effect can be enhanced.

In general, an ultrasonic method is an ultrasonic vibrator installed in a cleaning tank, which is operated to oscillate ultrasonic waves in the cleaning tank, and utilizes the cavitation generated in the solvent at this time. This is what you are trying to clean.

Here, cavitation refers to the phenomenon in which pores are formed in a liquid when the pressure is reduced by ultrasonic waves, which are compression waves that pass through a solvent.Other causes of cavitation include static negative pressure, mechanical force (due to flow cavitation) etc.

All conventional cleaners are of the dispersion type, regardless of the type of solvent used, and those in which an ultrasonic vibrator is installed in this container have been collectively referred to as ultrasonic cleaners.

However, among users who require precise cleaning, there was an unpopular opinion that ``ultrasonic cleaning using organic solvents (currently CFCs are the mainstream) is not effective.''

Next, there are two types of cavitation: deaerated cavitation and intrinsic cavitation. Degassing cavitation is a phenomenon in which, initially, dissolved gas in an organic solvent is degassed by ultrasonic stimulation and generates very warm bubbles.As time passes, these bubbles decrease, and later the solvent itself vaporizes. Foam is generated and ultrasonic cleaning has little effect on the workpiece.

In addition, the permeability of ultrasonic waves is extremely attenuated by bubbles, and a similar technique is bubble cleaning.

Intrinsic cavitation is the generation of microbubbles that are close to a vacuum and disappear in a very short time.This action occurs continuously and is accompanied by an intense shock wave, which is effective for cleaning.

Intrinsic cavitation occurs under different conditions depending on external pressure and solvent temperature, but conventional cavitation methods and devices have not taken these into consideration at all. As it happens, with water, true cavitation occurs at room temperature and under normal pressure, so the effectiveness of ultrasonic cleaning was not questioned, but with chlorofluorocarbons, true cavitation does not occur under these conditions (
(only degassable cavity dione was generated), resulting in cleaning that was not effective.
