Abstract

Application of water ice particles for precision cleaning was investigated experimentally. Several setups for ice particle generation andblasting were constructed. It was suggested that an efficient technology for formation of particles, in the range of 0.3–2.0 mm, involves ice crushing during water solidification. Freezing of water mist in a nitrogen bath constitutes the efficient technique to generate particles in the range of 15–25 microns. It was shown that ice-air jet containing larger particles issuitable for precision decontamination of metal, plastic, electronic and electromechanical parts, while the micron size particles are appropriate for processing of substrates in biomedical and food industries. © 2007 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.
