When can I use degas function with SONICA EP ultrasonic cleaners series?

Submitted by staff on

The degas function is used for degassing the cleaning liquids and allows some sound/chemical applications to be adopted, e.g. degassing of high polymer solvent (HPL). During this function, the detergent solutions are released from air bubbles which prevent effective propagation of the ultrasound waves. Whenever a new detergent or water is used, a degassing cycle of approximately two minuts is recommended in order to bring the air bubbles to the surface. Higher temperatures not only affect the quality of cavitation, but also help to degas the liquid and improve the chemical cleaning action.

What is corrosion?

Submitted by staff on

The corrosion is the oxidative deterioration of a metal, such as the conversion of iron to rust.The rusting of iron requires both oxygen and water. The ultrasonic cavitation, in presence of strong acid or highly alkalyne solutions such as sodium hypochlorite, can cause highly accelerated corrosion even in stainless steel.
