In our discussion of ultrasonic cleaners, we now turn our attention to the effect that temperature has on ultrasonic cleaning. Cavitations produced in a liquid by high frequency – or ultrasonic – sound waves result in streams of liquids essentially “power washing” objects on a microscopic level. What role does temperature play in the process? […]
What is Cavitation Exactly?
In the world of ultrasonic cleaning, the word used most often is “cavitation”. Generally speaking, most people simply know this to be, “the bubbles in an ultrasonic tank that clean the contaminants off a dirty industrial part”. Well how are cavitation bubbles formed? A transducer produces sound waves that multiply liquid. The liquid is subjected […]
