During Vapor Degreasing, a heat source raises the liquid solvent in a tank to its boiling point. When the solvent boils, it produces hot, heavy vapors that rise to an established vapor line. At this point, the vapors are condensed on cold condenser coils and the vapors do not rise any higher. The solvent vapors are heavier than air, therefore they push the air above the vapor line. To Vapor Degrease, parts at ambient temperature are introduced into the solvent vapor and the solvent vapor condenses on the part’s surface. The liquid solvent produced as a result of this condensation dissolves the greases and oils on the part and flushes them away. Vapor Degreasing is an ideal degreasing method for metal parts. |
