In an era of rising energy prices, heated cleaning tanks incur additional costs and carbon emissions
Low-temperature cleaning can achieve cleaning results in room temperature, saving energy and reducing carbon emissions
Generally, in the metal processing process, cleaning and degreasing usually need to be maintained at 60-70 degrees to obtain effective cleaning ability, which requires dozens of liters or even Several hundred liters of cleaning agent are heated and maintained. In addition to creating a large energy demand, there is also a struggle to find better ways to maintain bath temperature. In view of the current international trend of energy conservation and carbon reduction, this is indeed an inappropriate operation method. For factories that need to export to Europe and the United States, it also increases carbon emissions and increases export costs and thresholds.
Low-temperature cleaning maximizes the cleaning ability by improving the oil dissolving ability of the agent and matching the cleaning design of the equipment, thereby lowering the operating temperature to 40oC or even to room temperature, reducing energy consumption. The combination of chemicals, equipment, operating environment and other links enables water-based cleaning to also have the effect of solvent cleaning (low-temperature degreasing), prolongs the life of the cleaning fluid, reduces the frequency of replacement and the generation of waste liquid, and also improves the competition of the enterprise. force.
The following are recommendations for cleaning solutions that can be operated at low temperature or room temperature according to different needs:
