Project Number 1
Summary:
Ultrasonics did not yield promising results. Media blasting with baking soda did have better results.Test Objective:
To find a more effective way of cleaning our support screens| Trial Number | Date Run | Purpose | Success Rating |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 05/08/1996 | Goal of trial is to find a cleaning method | Results successful using TACT (time, agitation, concentration, and temperature, as well as rinsing and drying) and/or other cleaning chemistries examined. |
| 1 | 05/13/1996 | Results of Requested Testing | Results successful using TACT (time, agitation, concentration, and temperature, as well as rinsing and drying) and/or other cleaning chemistries examined. |
| 2 | 06/10/1996 | Update on feasibility of using ultrasonics | Test showed little or no promise. |
Project Number 2
Test Objective:
Replace toluene for prepainting preparation.Product Use:
parts are used to build small rooftop size dehumidifiers| Trial Number | Date Run | Purpose | Success Rating |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 10/19/2009 | To identify possible alternatives to toluene for manual wax removal. | Results successful using TACT (time, agitation, concentration, and temperature, as well as rinsing and drying) and/or other cleaning chemistries examined. |
| 1 | 10/16/2009 | To evaluate products using longer manual cleaning times. | A follow up test, usually based on company input. |
| 2 | 10/28/2009 | To evaluate top products from previous trial on second supplied contaminant. | A follow up test, usually based on company input. |
| 3 | 10/28/2009 | To evaluate top five products on third supplied contaminant using manual cleaning | A follow up test, usually based on company input. |
| 4 | 11/03/2009 | To evaluate top five products on fourth supplied contaminant using manual cleaning | A follow up test, usually based on company input. |
| 5 | 11/05/2009 | To evaluate top five products on fifth supplied contaminant using manual cleaning | A follow up test, usually based on company input. |
| 6 | 11/04/2009 | To evaluate top five products on sixth supplied contaminant using manual cleaning | A follow up test, usually based on company input. |
| 7 | 11/04/2009 | To evaluate top five products on seventh supplied contaminant using manual cleaning | A follow up test, usually based on company input. |
| 8 | 11/12/2009 | To evaluate top five products on eight supplied contaminant using manual cleaning | A follow up test, usually based on company input. |
| 9 | 12/16/2009 | To clean company supplied parts with the 5 most effective cleaners found during lab trials | Results suggest a scale-up feasible match for cleaning chemistry and equipment. Pilot plant study with actual parts recommended. |
