Ultrasonic waves exert their effect through cavitation in liquids, leveraging characteristics such as short wavelength, concentrated energy, and strong penetrability.

Ultrasonic waves exert their effect through cavitation in liquids, leveraging characteristics such as short wavelength, concentrated energy, and strong penetrability. This property enables them to precisely clean intricate components that are difficult to reach with traditional cleaning methods—for example, workpieces with complex structures like blind holes and gaps. Meanwhile, the energy contained in ultrasonic waves can efficiently remove stubborn, insoluble stains with strong adhesion, significantly reducing cleaning time. Moreover, the cleaning process causes no damage to the workpieces, effectively ensuring their service life.

 

Compressors have irregular external structures, and their various assembled components are contaminated to varying degrees during production. The main contaminants include dust, cutting oil, cooling fluid, oil stains, metal chips, and other impurities generated during stamping and machining processes. By using ultrasonic cleaning machines, it is possible to thoroughly clean tiny pores and recessed areas on the parts, ensuring comprehensive cleaning of the part surfaces. Additionally, the entire operation process is environmentally friendly and safe.

 

To achieve effective cleaning of contaminants on compressor components, the selection of cleaning agents must comprehensively consider factors such as their wetting coefficient and cleaning ability for metal parts. At the same time, the cleaning agents should be non-flammable (no flash point), cost-effective, and recyclable for repeated use. A four-tank ultrasonic cleaning machine is adopted as the cleaning equipment, equipped with a circulating filtration system, spray system, drying device, and other components.


 

In terms of selecting ultrasonic frequencies, low-frequency cleaning is suitable for large workpiece surfaces and scenarios where contaminants have strong adhesion to the cleaning surface. However, it has limitations in penetrating deep holes and components with complex surface shapes. High-frequency cleaning, on the other hand, features relatively dense and uniform cavitation bubbles and strong penetrability, making it ideal for cleaning parts with narrow slits, deep holes, or blind holes. Given that compressor components are irregular metal parts, ultrasonic cleaning machines should use a low frequency of 28kHz.
 
The cleaning process flow is as follows: 【Ultrasonic Rough Cleaning】-【Ultrasonic Precision Cleaning】-【Spray or Rinse】-【Cooling and Drying】.

 

Ultrasonic cleaning machines have unparalleled advantages in cleaning contaminants on compressor surfaces. By selecting appropriate cleaning fluids, adjusting the ultrasonic frequency and power correctly, and strictly following the proper cleaning process steps, cleaning quality can be ensured to meet requirements, thereby extending the service life of compressor components.
