1.
Engage the
ROV’s hydraulic power unit to activate the CaviBlaster
®
unit.
2.
The most efficient operating technique is to hold the nozzle 2-5 inches (5-12
cm) away from the surface to be cleaned and at a 25 to 45 degree angle to
the surface being cleaned (See Figure 5.2).
The ROV operator needs to
observe the shape of the cavitating jet cone. At greater depths, the higher
ambient pressure will cause the jet cone to be shorter. The widest zone of the
cone is the most efficient part of the cavitating jet. Placing the nozzle closer
than 2 inches (5 cm) from the surface being cleaned will not allow for efficient
cavitation performance and will degrade the cleaning capability of the
CaviBlaster
®
system.
3.
Follow all safety regulations that may be applicable to the work being
performed.
