초록
액체 탄산의 단열팽창하여 얻은 드라이아이스 snow로부터의 펠렛제조기와 이들 펠렛을 이용한 표면 세정용 블래스팅 장치를 설계 제작하였다. 본 블래스팅 장치는 적은 압력과 적은 량의 공기로도 다양한 오염물질 녹, 기름때, 라커막, 페인트 제거에 강한 세정력을 얻을 수 있었다. 이 때 호퍼 용량은 12 kg이고, 펠렛 분사량은 0-1.2 kg/ min 까지 조절이 가능하였다. 드라이아이스 펠렛의 impact는 한계 거리 안에서는 거리에 무관하며, 드라이아이스 분사의 impact stress, 각도 및 질량 속도에 의존하였다. 또한 블래스팅의 세정력은 impact 와 대상 물질의 열적 성질 및 표면 조도에 의존하였으며, 유리, 구리, 황동, 강철, 아크릴 기판의 순서로 감소하였다. 그리고 세정 속도는 같은 기판에 붙은 오염물의 경도, 부착력에 의존하였으며 그리스, 에폭시, 페인트 순으로 감소하였다. 사용 중 소음도는 대략 85-100 dBA이었다.
Pelletizer of dry ice snow produced by adiabatic expansion of liquid carbon dioxide and their blaster were designed and manufactured. The blaster had a high cleaning power against various contaminants on the surface such as stain, oily dirt, lacquer film and paints with low blasting pressure and low consumption of blasting air. The capacity of hopper for dry ice pellet supply was 12 kg and the mass rate of pellet blasting was controlled in 0 to 1.2 kg/min. The impact of the pellets was independent of standoff distance within a certain limiting distance, and dependent on the impact stress, angle and mass rate of dry ice pellet blasting. On the other hand the cleaning power was influenced by thermal properties and surface roughness of the substrates and decreased in the order of glass, copper, brass, steel and acryl. The power was also affected by hardness and adhesion of the contaminant on the substrate, and decreased in the order of grease, epoxy and paint. The noise was detected during blasting in the range of 85 to 100dBA.
