Because the exact combination of these factors depends on your shop's cleaning
standards and operating requirements, specific chemical concentration
recommendations are not possible. Below are formulas for calculating the amount of
chemical needed to charge a reservoir of water for cleaning. To use these you will need
to know the volume of your washer’s reservoir and the recommended initial chemical
concentration. Select the formula to use based on whether your chemical is powder or
liquid.
For Powder:
Reservoir Size (gal) x Recommended Concentration (oz/gal) = lbs. of Chemical to add.
Divided by 16 oz. / lb.
For Liquid:
Reservoir Size (gal) x Recommended Concentration (oz/gal) = gals. of Chemical to add.
Divided by 128 fluid ozs. / Gal
You must test and adjust the variables in your application to determine an effective
chemical type and concentration.
Chemical concentration depends on:
·
Your cleaning standards
·
Type of metal or material being cleaned
·
Shape of parts
·
Type of soils to be removed
·
Rate of speed required in cleaning
·
Operating temperature of the washer
·
Water hardness
Every chemical compound has an optimal operating temperature range. Generally,
chemical is more aggressive at higher temperatures. As a general rule, for every 10
°
F
(6
°
C) rise in temperature, a chemical reaction doubles in speed.
The MART Chemcial Group offers a complete range of chemcials for use in MART
Power Washers. They can help you select the proper chemical from our Power Kleen
line and recommend an appropriate initial chemcial concentration.
If you are using you own chemcials contact your chemical supplier for details -- and
adjust your MART Power Washer's chemical concentration accordingly.
