Ultrasonic Cleaner - How they Work & How they Clean Carburetors (Full Version) (by Craig Kirkman)

[@TheRepairSpecialist]

Hi guys I just wanted to Introduce to you my other Channel "Kirkman's Academy" - which i'm just getting started. It's a go-to channel for simple explanations for hard to grasp subjects such as physics, maths and chemistry etc. Here is the link: www.youtube.com/@kirkmansacademy/videos . Thank you so much for looking, and if these topics interest you then I hope to see you the there. Many thanks indeed. Craig 😊👍

[@jamiemr2255]

Thanks I just subscribed

[@SandeepSharma-ue8vu]

This is one of the finest explanation on how the Ultrasonic Cleaner works. Being the manufacture of such system, i was constantly nodding my head in affirmation every minute. Thanks for the efforts :) Great content !

[@mailofi7427]

I second this! Keep up the great work!

[@SRWC417]

Gonna be honest, I wasn't expecting much when I clicked on this video... Then you whipped out all the molecular background of how water, atmospheric pressure and temperature intermingle and my mind was left blown. Excellent job in explaining this subject! I am much more prepared in my progression towards utilizing my ultrasonic cleaner to its full potential! Thank you!

[@TheRepairSpecialist]

Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. My thumbnails and descriptions probably don’t do the content justice. Thank you again for your kind feedback. Craig

[@CandyGramForMongo_]

Finally! A complete explanation. This is the first I’ve seen. Well done.

[@kobun6474]

This is the best explanation of an ultrasonic cleaner's function on KZbin, every company should just link this video on their FAQ page

[@Mr0001jack]

Brilliant presentation - Thanks so much 😊‼️

[@TheRepairSpecialist]

Thank you so much for your nice feedback. It's comments like yours that motivate me to continue making these videos. Craig 😀👍

[@SSOMMERHOFF]

Agree 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@latestplague3762]

The absolute best person I have ever seen for showing people how something works. His commentary is easy to listen to and so well detailed along with his diagrams. He really helped me to TRULY understand how carburetors work.

[@psycheameliorate7446]

Not a single second in this video where I'm lost. Magnificent presentation

[@andyyoung3233]

That was the best explained thing ever THANKS!

[@domenic5136]

Yes, this is the absolute best explanation of how a coil works.

[@SuperJamster1]

Thank you so much for your explanation and amazing animation graphics. I've wondered about the actual science behind the ultrasonic cleaner for a while. Amazing video. Thank you.

[@adnacraigo6590]

This is where I go to get the best explanations.

[@scottcates]

This is the very best explanation of how ultrasonic cleaning works.

[@TheRepairSpecialist]

Thank you for your awesome comment. I really do appreciate it. Craig 👍

[@mikek1187]

Excellent explanation on ultrasonic cleaners! It should also be noted that in HVAC situations, the vacuum drawn by the vacuum pump literally BOILS the water away out of the system, courtesy of the absence of pressure (e.g. vacuum) within the system. So, drawing a vacuum on water in a sealed chamber can also induce boiling.

[@Umski]

My old physics teacher used to use a vacuum pump to dry out bell jars at school to demonstrate this principle - I often wonder if it could be used as a clothes drying process but would probably use more energy than a traditional tumble dryer :D

[@FullCircleTravis]

@@Umski Evaporation causes cooling, so you still need to provide heat. However the required temperature would be lower, which would allow certain fabrics to be dried.

[@Umski]

@@FullCircleTravis heating the item is not strictly necessary (I don't think) as dropping the pressure allows the water to evaporate into the vessel in which the clothes and vacuum pump inlet reside, the issue would be how much energy the pump needs and how to remove the water vapour molecules and then how to re-apply pressure without all the steam condensing back into the fabric! Heating would certainly help speed up the process of water evaporation but isn't strictly necessary as the boiling point is being reduced so the liquid water can make an easier bid for freedom as vapour...

[@FullCircleTravis]

@@Umski Phase change from liquid to gas is endothermic.

[@Umski]

@@FullCircleTravis indeed, hence latent heat and vapour pressure working together - the clothes and water would indeed get colder but that doesn't necessitate heating to get the water out, though it would of course help...

[@bowalle7623]

Best video explanation of the ultrasonic cleaner that I have seen. Well done and most appreciated.

[@eananstrain6817]

Wow, this was fantastic! A whole physics lesson in a few minutes, which was interesting, useful, comprehensive and intelligent. I wasnt expecting that when I clicked on the video! Outstanding stuff, thanks for uploading

[@quirkyviper]

This is one of the best explanation videos I've ever seen! If I were a teacher, I'd be using this in my classroom! Thank you for the time and effort you put into this!

[@onlythetruth883]

Thank you so much for your hard work and your willingness to share. You have helped me beyond measure.

[@glennlorimer1618]

Thank you so much for this detailed but rookie friendly explanation I’ve certainly understood how it works now

[@gerryrobins5775]

never was interested in how they work, not even got one, dont even know how this video popped up or why i clicked on it, but i did and within a few seconds was hooked, found it absolutely fasinating, you where clear and very informative and the diagrams and animation went together well, Thank you I actually learnt something.

[@gerryrobins5775]

just looked at youre other vids, so subscribed and will watch them,Thanks again

[@nickqa]

I'm a Chemist and Pharmacist and I want to congratulate you on how accurate all the physics info is on this video. It is so far the BEST explanation of this subject I've found. It would have also been good to have a short introduction to the power of the detergent as a tensioactive agent, lowering the superficial tension of the molecules of water to reach the tiniest holes and cracks in the cleaned parts. Other than that, Congrats again on a fantastic and perfectly explained subject.

[@TheRepairSpecialist]

Wow, thank you. I really appreciate it. Craig 👍👍👍

[@jasenbean1544]

That was intense. I learned far more than I was expecting. Thank you

[@FD-dh2fu]

The detail is tremendous. Love it. :-).

[@davidgriffin79]

0:53 Factors. 9:37 It's also how refrigerators/heat pumps work with the refrigerant, compressor and condenser: the heat energy in the refrigerator has enough energy to boil the refrigerant into vapour (thus moving the heat energy from the inside of the refrigerator). Outside the refrigerator, the refrigerant vapor is compressed back into a liquid and heat is released (that's why the back of a refrigerator is always hot). The refrigerant is then pumped back into the fridge where it's pressure is much reduced (to below its boiling point) and the heat energy inside the fridge boils the refrigerant back into a vapour.

[@doug4371]

Thank you very much for your comprehensible explanation of an ultrasonic cleaning machine. You are very good at explaining your point clearly with detailed animated examples. Normally I would have to repeat certain segments of a KZbin tutorial, but yours were very clear to the end.

[@babusheikh6652]

In one word, just "EXCELLENT". Lots of love. Thanks for making this amazing video.

[@raymondnagel5431]

A great explanation of the physics of your ultrasonic cleaner

[@osimnod]

I had honestly forgotten how weak those Hydrogen bonds were --- since my last chemistry class was over 40 years ago! Excellent presentation and very understandable in every respect. I own an ultrasonic cleaner for just this purpose and appreciate your work.

[@rb-qc1fn]

Damn sharp! I am gonna have to check out more of your videos.. at 70 (birthday on the 6th) I sometimes have trouble following what folks are explaining.. But you were clear and succinct.. I followed the whole thing from start to finish.. I have been thinking of getting one of these for cleaning small parts (including carburetors) It is good to understand how they work. Well done!

[@TheRepairSpecialist]

Thank you for the nice comment, i really appreciate it. It's your birthday today so have a great day. Craig 🍾

Just to let you know that I am aware that I have made a typo error where I write "Facters" when I meant Factors. Thanks. Craig

[@dustyweasel41]

Wow, what a detailed informative explanation. Thank you. I bought one two years ago. Such a great purchase. I’ll never use borax for a cleaning agent again in it though. It seized up my carburetor. Lesson learned. Stick to liquid detergents.

Brilliant. Loved your video explanation.

[@shango6164]

Thanks for clearing that up so well. I always thought is was the high frequency vibration that literally shook the debris off. Happy to learn from you the science behind it. Thanks.

[@ismailsayah624]

you deserve the finest the best like ever in youtube, this explanation is the best use of thermodynamics water saturation pressure vs temperature. the same example used by our thermodynamics professor to explain the phenomena of boiling water less or above 100C°, that of pressure cookers. once again, you deserve the best like ever.

Oh mate, you’ve came so down that rabbit hole I felt you’d almost scratch quantum physics, while explaining such simple thing as ultrasonic cleaner 🤩 That’s a brilliant mind!

[@ozarkarky]

This cavitation can also cause pitting on pistons if you get water in your fuel. That would be a good subject for a video. 👍👍

[@TheRepairSpecialist]

Very good idea 👍👍

[@radar536]

Simple and well explained.

[@ajaylengare2493]

Very micro detailed video and explanation... thank you so much for taking efforts.

[@Grumpy-sy7wr]

Thank you very much for producing this video. I had been thinking about getting one for my shed, but each other video I saw about them, made me more sceptical about their worth. For different applications, each video presenter focused more on what solvent or chemical to use, rather than any information about the machine's processes, causing me to ask myself if the machine is more a gimmick and the solvent the actual cleaner. Finding your video has now answered that for me, and I shall now proceed with my purchase of one. Thanks again.

[@johnrewijk8371]

I use an ultrasonic cleaner. Mostly for outboard carburettors. Works great , now i know what is really doing the job Thanks for showing that to me. Greetz John.

[@KensGarage1]

I use one for motorcycle parts/carbs. What cleaning agent do you use?

[@johnrewijk8371]

@@KensGarage1 I use Tickopur R 33 from Stamm .From German manufacturer

[@nanettebarling1222]

Awesome video! I see some people on KZbin that say you can use the ultrasonic cleaner in this way; only put water in uscleaner. Then put a cleaning fluid in a jar with your parts you want to clean. Then they put a lid on the parts jar and load it in the uscleaner. They take out the jar and say the uscleaner cleaned the parts through the jar. What I'm seeing is yeah, the parts are cleaner but that's because the parts were soaking in cleaner. Personally, I don't see how that can work. Especially after watching your video.

[@TonyLing]

I now understand the process involved. Thanks mate.

[@amanofmanyparts9120]

If you don't want to gunge up your cleaner's tank with oil and grease or _exotic_ solvents, you can put the dirty item(s) in a glass jar with the cleaning solution inside it. Of course you will still need to fill the tank with water to transfer the sound waves to the jar.

[@arthurfricchione8119]

Craig I’ve recently purchased a ultrasonic cleaner and now it’s great that I know how it works. Your videos are so informative. What detergent would you recommend? Everyone seems to have their own opinion. Will watch the video again to catch items I might of missed. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and videos. They are all helpful 😊

[@EzRay11]

Arthur, Steve’s Small Engine Saloon has a couple of videos on how to use an ultrasonic cleaner and an excellent video comparing various cleaners. The outcome is surprising.

[@TheRepairSpecialist]

Hi Artie. Sorry for not getting back to you. To be honest I have tried many different detergents in my cleaners over the last few years and I've not seen a great difference between them myself. Personally, and I'm not saying you must do this, but I have found the very best way of cleaning engine mechanical metal type parts is to fill the ultrasonic tank with water. Then place your items to be cleaned into a separate container submerged in diesel, paraffin or even petrol. Then put this whole container into the ultrasonic tank and turn it on. The parts and the petrol will be separated from the water in the tank so no issues there. Otherwise go with the detergents and see what you think. See if you think there is much difference like me. Thanks again Craig

[@MD-gk4uh]

⁠@@TheRepairSpecialistwith other words, the sonic provides little more than agitation. So over hyped. I bet mechanical solution agitator would so just as good when you have to use harsh chemicals. You should not speed all those lies on KZbin.

Thank you for that in-depth look and explanation. Very informative👌

[@gregorycaspers1101]

Great information. As far as carburetors go, how does one know if the water is thoroughly inside it or in other words no air pockets in any of the inside lines?

[@douglasmckinley-sr1507]

Brilliant presentation. One question - what percent of the ultrasonic energy is converted to heat and subsequently raised the temperature of the water? For example I have read that "good" ultrasonic has 100 watts per gallon. How much of the 100 watts is converted heat and raised the temperature of the water?
