Cleaning and drying of electronic assemblies.

摘要

Components, especially of an electronic or electrical type, are cleaned by contact with a flammable liquid organic solvent (21), especially an alcohol. The surface of the solvent is covered with a non-flammable highly fluorinated compound vapour blanket (26), which vapour may also be used to transfer heat to the organic solvent. Both highly fluorinated compound and organic solvent are condensed and re-cycled.
