"DANGER"' Ultrasonic cleaner
Injector testing Post #48

I used acetone in an industrial cleaner and sent up such a fire ball the neighbors called the fire department I hope that is enough to discourage you from using flammable liquids in an electronic cleaner. I knew it was stupid and thank god I was doing it out back just in case or it would have blown the garage up and burnt the house down as it was I just got blown 2 feet in the air and 3 feet back. We won’t talk about the fireman’s response to a man with badly singed hairs telling them fire what fire sir. STUPID stuff makes me wiser the hard way though. I recommend just reading about such things and not trying them you’re self. Last edited by whunter; 04-02-2011 at 12:13 PM.

Yeah you only have to be on fire a few times before you learn to be more careful putting flammable liquids where they don't belong..
...after about 20 times though you start learning how to do it right and get fire the way you want it...

I use an ultrasonic cleaner daily in my work. I understand the fire danger is from sonicating for a long time (greater than 10-20 minutes) and filling the bath only an inch or two, instead of full. It takes a long time for an ultrasonic bath to get hot. That's why many of them are sold with timers.
But then again, in my practise, I rarely fill the bath with solvent. Instead, it is filled with water, and a beaker filled with solvent is placed in the bath for the part. For jewelry, I use water and detergent.

My limited experience with fireballs was using an off brand incandecent trouble bulb. It flared when it broke. That ignited something else very flamable. No more incandecent trouble lites for me. If you do still use them think about it and do not use cheap off brand bulbs at least.The other nice experience was when welding and just could not get the resulting fire out as it was being oil fed when underway. It had burnt through a rubber hose we found later. I was actually getting exhausted fighting it when a freind came along to help extinguish it. Now twenty incidents are something else. Besides being just plain funny. If this is like a urinating contest I do not want to be a winner.
Perhaps if I have another episode I will have a t shirt stenciled TORCHY front and back and wear it.

Neat thing about ultrasonic cleaners is the principle uses is induced cavitation; that is, the transducer vibrations cause vacuum pockets in the fluid to form and collapse very evenly and rapidly all throughout the fluid. Creating the vacuum bubble is nothing special, but the collapsing creates considerable force and heat at that exact spot in the fluid of the implosion.
Some studies indicate that the exact temperature at the center of the implosion approaches the temperature of the surface of the sun. Temperature and pressure generated is excellent for cleaning rigid solids... bad for flammable liquids. Cavitation is alluded to fluid-sand-blasting. It is that powerful, just ask the Navy.
