Experimental Study for Cleanliness Evaluation of Tractor Engine Components

Abstract

In present scenario most of the industries are competing for quality improvement. In each automotive company, to reduce the wear and tear between engine components and to increase the engine life, it is necessary to check the contamination level of engine components. To wash these components washing solvents or multi metal cleaner cum degreaser are used to wash the components in ordinary or ultrasonic washing machines. In this paper experimental work is carried out to find the life of two washing solvents used to wash the tractor engine components in ordinary and ultrasonic washing machines. This experiment is performed at different setting parameters date wise of both of the machines. Observations were taken for 15 days using two type of cleaning medium i.e. AFSO CLEAN-AD20 and METACLEAN 211. After data analysis it is concluded that if these washing solvents are used for both shifts in the industry than the solvents remain useful to clean the tractor engine components for 6 days as per specification limits.
