Is Dry Ice Cleaning Necessary for Engine Carbon Deposits?
1 Answers
Dry ice cleaning is a relatively safe technology for removing engine carbon deposits and can be used when carbon buildup occurs in vehicles. Below is a detailed introduction to dry ice cleaning for engine carbon deposits: 1. Principle: It primarily utilizes the high-pressure gas from an air compressor as a carrier, with dry ice particles serving as the accelerating medium. The air compressor propels the dry ice particles onto the carbon deposits that need cleaning. Dry ice cleaning can thoroughly remove carbon deposits from the engine without causing damage or requiring engine disassembly. The cleaning process involves spraying the surface with a cleaning machine, utilizing the sublimation and melting effects of momentum to remove surface contaminants. 2. Cleaning Time: Due to its non-toxic, pollution-free, dry, water-free, and chemical-free nature, dry ice cleaning is gentle on metals and plastics without causing damage. Cleaning a single engine cylinder typically takes about one minute, while cleaning the entire engine compartment takes approximately five minutes. The cleaning results can be inspected using an endoscope, making it a fully visible cleaning process.
