hksigwalther,
That was a good explanation of the theory
behind Ultrasonic cavitation and I'm impressed. Most of the benchtop cleaners used for smaller industrial parts are using
the lower frequencies such as 25 or 40 KHz.
They are fairly harmless to place your hand
but will sting a little bit. When you move
up to the higher frequencies (70 120 170 KHz)
used by the optical and computer industry,
placing your hand in them can be down right
painful.
Skorz,
In my opinion it would be a bad idea to
use a lubricant/preservative a your cleaning
media. Not that it wouldn't work well, but
as you've surmised, what do you do with the
excess. I would think the best technique
seeing the gun is warm when you take it out
is to just blow off the water/solution with
compressed air. Then maybe a good coat of
Rem. Drilube or something similar. jeffg
