B Series Degreaser Introduction
Rev G Page 15
Cleaning solvents dissolve soils through chemical action. The process is enhanced by agitation
induced by ultrasonic cavitation. Cavitation provides a strong mechanical action that also removes
non-soluble soils. Sprays provide mechanical scrubbing action. Vapor rinsing dilutes any dirty
solvent that clings to the part when it is removed from the ultrasonic bath.
1.9 How the Cleaner Works
Figure 1-2 B Series
1. The boiling sump heater boils the solvent
2. Solvent vapors fill the vapor zone.
3. Some vapors condense on parts; dirty solvent drips into the boiling sump.
4. Remaining vapors condense on condensing coils and mix with water extracted from the
atmosphere.
5. Water and condensate collect in the trough and pass into the water separator/desiccator.
6. Water is removed by the water separator/desiccator.
7. Pure solvent overflows into the ultrasonic sump.
8. Solvent mixes with the dirt removed by ultrasonic cleaning.
9. Dirty solvent overflows into the boiling sump so that all dirt ends up in the boiling sump.
10. Sub-zero coil extracts solvent vapors from air in freeboard zone.
