HIGH PRESSURE SPRAY CLEANING METHOD, APPARATUS AND SPRAY HEAD

HIGH PRESSURE SPRAY CLEANING METHOD, APPARATUS AND SPRAY HEAD

HIGH PRESSURE SPRAY CLEANING METHOD, APPARATUS AND SPRAY HEAD In a high pressure spray cleaning apparatus and method there is provided separate pressurized flow circuits to separate inlets of a spray head. A chemical flow circuit delivers a cleaning chemical fluid under pressure and a carrier flow circuit delivers a heated carrier fluid, preferably water and or soap, under a relatively high pressure. The pressurized cleaning chemical fluid and heated water are intimately mixed and distributed by a novel spray head. A power-driven air compressor is coupled to a chemical storage tank containing a cleaning chemical in the chemical flow circuit. A power-driven positive displacement pump associated with a by-pass unloader valve regulates the pressure of the water from a water tank delivered to a heating coil in which the water is heated in the carrier flow circuit. When the heated water is not being sprayed at the spray head, it is automatically returned by the operation of the by-pass unloader ...

PORTABLE SELF-ENERGIZING PRESSURE SPRAYER

A pressure sprayer is pressurized automatically with movement of the sprayer and maintains adequate pressure during non-movement to allow the ejection of an amount of liquid before needing re-pressurization. The pressure sprayer includes wheels that allow the pressure sprayer to be mobile. A cam is attached to the axle of the wheels which rotates with the rotation of the axle/wheels. A pressure pump is associated with the cam such that movement of the cam causes the pressure pump to pump liquid from a holding tank to an accumulator or directly to a spray wand in communication with the pump. The liquid may be sprayed (ejected) from the accumulator during both movement (pumping) and non-movement (no pumping) of the sprayer, while the liquid may be directly sprayed from the holding tank only during movement (pumping) thereof. Thus, as the wheels rotate due to moving the pressure sprayer, the cam causes movement of the pressure pump to fill the accumulator with the liquid under pressure. The ...

A PRESSURE WASHER AND A METHOD OF PROVIDING A SUPER-HEATED JET OF WATER

Some pressure washers include units for introduction of detergents and other chemicals into the water stream; however, it is desirable to obtain sterilized cleaning water without them, such that use in, for instance, food preparation processes can be implemented. With a sufficiently high temperature super-heated water stream, all process equipment, including pipework, that comes into contact with sterile process materials, can be cleaned, de-greased and sterilized both with the spray jet using water alone whilst not contributing endotoxins, microbial contamination or particles. Merely raising the temperature of water in a conventional pressure washer could cause components to fail, if they were not designed to operate at such high temperatures. In the present invention, the pump (25) supplies a relatively low volume of water at a relatively high pressure to the boiler (13), allowing the boiler (13) to heat that volume of water to a relatively high temperature. In contrast, if a higher volume ...
