Cleaning gas device cleaning the process gas of a reflow soldering system

摘要

Disclosed is a cleaning device ( 11 ) for the processing gas of a reflow soldering system and a method for the operation thereof. According to the invention, the cleaning device contains a cleaning fluid ( 16 ) enables non-cleaned process gas ( 12 ) to be guided, e.g. in the form of rising bubbles ( 24 ). The cleaned process gas is removed from the cleaning device ( 11 ). By using a cleaning fluid to separate impurities from the process, the invention is advantageous in comparison with conventional filters in that the process gas is subjected to little flow resistance, enabling the process gas to be cleaned in an efficient, low-cost matter.
