Ultrasonic Power Knowledge:
When an ultrasonic cleaner is running electrical power is consumed evenly but it is released in intervals to create the sound waves that shape the ultrasonic signal.
Some manufacturers report ultrasonic peak power, others report average power, and some report both. When comparing equipment you must compare based on the same criterion otherwise you’d be comparing apples with oranges.
While more power usually indicates faster and more effective cleaning, more power is not always better. Too much power can damage electronic parts, the surface finish on a soft metal (e.g. aluminum), and other delicate items.
Keep in mind that the larger the volume of solution, the more ultrasonic power will be needed for cleaning. Most cleaners run at an average power of 50 to 100 watts per gallon, so the larger the tank the more power you need.
Don’t attempt to increase the effective power of an ultrasonic cleaner by under-filling the tank. Ultrasonic cleaner generators that power transducers are tuned to a particular fill level. Operating the unit with less fluid can damage the generator and will result in less than optimized cleaning.
FAQ:
Why is it important to use my tank at the correct temperature?
Heating the tank will give better results to cleaning and also speed up the process – most solutions will need to be related to perform as designed. The optimum temperature setting for the unit should be industrial on the solution packaging.
