Vacuum Technology
Benefits of Vacuum Technology
Vacuum technology is fully utilized in the vacuum degreasing systems in the following three areas:
1. Solvent Emission Reduction
Initially the air in the cleaning chamber is evacuated so that the solvent and the air are not interfaced with each other to
eliminate the solvent emissions.
2. De-gassing the Solvent
When the solvent is placed under vacuum, the air dissolved in the solvent is eliminated to enhance the ultrasonic power-
this means cleaner parts.
3. Drying the Parts Completely
In the vacuum drying process, the vacuum is created in the cleaning chamber. The higher the vacuum, the lower the
solvent boiling point becomes. The heat stored in the parts helps boil the solvent and the evaporated vapor is recaptured
and recycled in the system. In case of methylene chloride, the boiling point at atmospheric pressure is about 40 degrees
C, whereas, at 90 torr, it boils at minus 10 degrees C.
