Squirter jet ultrasonic cleaning

摘要

A method and device for cleaning a hollow article (28) and specifically a turbine blade assembly utilizes a cleaning solution (14) flowed through the turbine blade assembly and a transducer (16) that generates an ultrasonic frequency that is transmitted through the flowing cleaning solution (14) to the internal surfaces of the turbine blade (28). Ultrasonic waves (15) emitted by the transducer (16) generate energy that is transmitted through the cleaning solution (14) within the internal cavity and against interior surfaces of the turbine blade (28). Ultrasonic waves that contact the internal surfaces dislodge and remove dirt and grime.
