5. The basic principle of ultrasonic cleaning technology
Using ultrasonic transducers (crystal head) to emit high-frequency ultrasonic waves. 28,000 times (28KHZ crystal head) oscillations are generated per second. The liquid is used as the transmission medium. Since ultrasonic waves are a compressive longitudinal wave, their effect on the medium causes pressure changes in the liquid, resulting in countless tiny air bubbles. This causes the cavitation effect. When the bubbles are compressed and burst, a powerful impact force is generated. During this cavitation phenomenon, when the bubbles close, an instantaneous high pressure of over 1000 atmospheres is formed. There are countless bursts and reconstructions in an instant, which can quickly loosen and remove grease, wax, and dirt attached to the surface, recesses, or hidden areas of the object, achieving a thorough cleaning effect without damaging the surface of the workpiece. This cavitation erosion effect is the basic principle of ultrasonic cleaning.
