Project Number 1
Summary:
Four products would result in successful cleaning of all the metal working fluids. The design of the parts containing holes and threads would require ultrasonic cleaning.Test Objective:
Recommend alternative degreasing chemistries and equipment to reduce the use or replace TCE vapor degreaser.Product Use:
Power transmission industryTrial Number | Date Run | Purpose | Success Rating |
---|---|---|---|
0 | 05/31/2001 | To identify a cleaner to remove C-Eblis cutting oil from steel parts | Results successful using TACT (time, agitation, concentration, and temperature, as well as rinsing and drying) and/or other cleaning chemistries examined. |
1 | 06/01/2001 | To evaluate selected cleaners using ultrasonic energy to remove cutting fluid | Results suggest a scale-up feasible match for cleaning chemistry and equipment. Pilot plant study with actual parts recommended. |
2 | 06/08/2001 | To evaluate four effective cleaners on a second contaminant | Results successful using TACT (time, agitation, concentration, and temperature, as well as rinsing and drying) and/or other cleaning chemistries examined. |
3 | 06/11/2001 | To evaluate successful cleaners on third contaminant. | Results successful using TACT (time, agitation, concentration, and temperature, as well as rinsing and drying) and/or other cleaning chemistries examined. |
4 | 06/11/2001 | To evaluate successful cleaners on fourth contaminant | Results successful using TACT (time, agitation, concentration, and temperature, as well as rinsing and drying) and/or other cleaning chemistries examined. |
5 | 06/12/2001 | To evaluate successful cleaners on fifth contaminant. | Results successful using TACT (time, agitation, concentration, and temperature, as well as rinsing and drying) and/or other cleaning chemistries examined. |
6 | 06/12/2001 | To evaluate successful cleaners on sixth contaminant. | Results successful using TACT (time, agitation, concentration, and temperature, as well as rinsing and drying) and/or other cleaning chemistries examined. |
7 | 06/13/2001 | To evaluate successful cleaners on sixth cleaner. | Results successful using TACT (time, agitation, concentration, and temperature, as well as rinsing and drying) and/or other cleaning chemistries examined. |
8 | 06/14/2001 | To evaluate the four cleaners on the remaining contaminant mix. | Results successful using TACT (time, agitation, concentration, and temperature, as well as rinsing and drying) and/or other cleaning chemistries examined. |
9 | 06/20/2001 | To clean supplied parts with the successful cleaners | Results suggest a scale-up feasible match for cleaning chemistry and equipment. Pilot plant study with actual parts recommended. |
