The necessity and the importance of the remanufacturing are increasing day by day along with environmental problems. Many studies are being conducted on remanufacturing, but the research for cleaning is much lacking. This study aims to evaluate the effective cleaning method for remanufacturing of start motors, one of the automobile parts. The cleaning process consists of oil stain removal, drying and rust removal processes. In this study, the two processes were conducted except for the drying process which has little influence on cleaning. The methodology for cleaning agent selection, degreasing and rust removal process was presented. For each methodology, five analysis factors were calculated by two-way comparison according to the process, and the values were evaluated quantitatively by substituting them into the evaluation table. In the selection of cleaning agent, neutral system, ultrasonic cleaning in degreasing, and grinding in rust removal were selected as the best cleaning methods.

NF₃, Chamber cleaning gas, has a high Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 17,000, causing significant greenhouse effects. Reducing gas usage during the cleaning process is crucial while increasing the cleaning Rate and reducing cleaning standard deviation (Stdev). In a previous study with a 6-inch PECVD chamber, a multiple linear regression analysis showed that Power and Pressure had no significant effect on the cleaning Rate because of their P-values of 0.42 and 0.68. The weight for Flow is 11.55, and the weights for Power and Pressure are 1.4 and 0.7. Due to the limitations of the research equipment, which differed from those used in actual industrial settings, it was challenging to assess the effects in actual industrial environment. Therefore, to show an actual industrial environment, we conducted the cleaning process on a 12-inch PECVD chamber, which is production-level equipment, and quantitatively analyzed the effects of each variable. Power, Pressure, and NF3 Flow all had P-values close to 0, indicating strong statistical significance. The weight for Flow is 15.68, and the weights for Power and Pressure are 4.45 and 5.24, respectively, showing effects 3 and 7 times greater than those with the 6-inch equipment on the cleaning rate. Additionally, we analyzed the cleaning Stdev and derived that there is a trade-off between increasing the cleaning Rate and reducing the cleaning Stdev.

Cleaning Processes are widely employed in the manufacturing processes of many industries and various environmental contaminants are generated during their operation. Thus, as the environmental and safety regulations are getting severer at home and abroad, it is indispensable that the existing cleaning agents which are causing environmental and safety problems should be replaced by the more environmentally-friendly alternative ones. In order to select alternative cleaning agents, it is necessary that their cleaning power is equivalent to or better than that of existing cleaning agents. However, the evaluation methods of cleaning power of industrial cleaning agents have not been established for comparison of cleanliness. In this study, various kinds of evaluation methods of cleanliness which can be utilized in the laboratory or in the industrial field are examined and their field application cases are reviewed and analyzed.

FEM analysis of cleaning machine was performed. A cleaning machine was designed and measured to develop a cleaning machine with highly improved performance and a real configuration. 3D modeling was conducted using the 3-D design program CATIA V5. In addition, FEM analysis was conducted on the modeled cleaning machine using the ANSYS finite element analysis program and the pressure changes in internal fluid flow were visualized. This result was applied to the new product development of cleaning machines.

Field works are decreasing gradually since advancement of industrial robots. Tunnel cleaning is a dangerous field work which can be solved only by introducingadvanced tunnel cleaning automation equipment. Industrial robots work tirelessly night and day without a loss in performance. Consequently, greatly reduce the costs of manufactured goods.So far only 200 construction robots are invented. Robots used for tunnel cleaning are not of high standard they always need additional workers for job to be done. Robots offer specific benefits to workers, industries and countries. If introduced correctly for tunnel cleaning, industrial robots can improve the quality of life by freeing workers from dirty, boring, dangerous and heavy labor. Development of advanced tunnel cleaning automation equipment is a must to overcome above issues. The benefits of robots to industry include improved management control, productivity and consistently high quality products. This research is a study on tunnel cleaning automation equipment and introducing advanced tunnel cleaning automation equipment.

Non-aqueous cleaning agents were formulated with 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFEA) and hydrofluoroether (HFE), and their physical properties and cleaning abilities were examined. TFEA-based aqueous cleaning agents were also formulated with nonionic surfactants, hydrotropes and builders, and their cleaning abilities were compared. Possibilities of these cleaning agents as substitutes for CFC-113 and 1,1,1-TCE were finally evaluated. In this work, fluxes, cutting oils, greases, and fluoric oils were selected as model contaminants for cleaning experiments. These contaminants have different properties of water-solubility or hydrophilicity, and fat-solubility or lypophilicity. Cleaning abilities of TFEA-based cleaning agents were analyzed and compared through the measurement of contaminant weight changes as a function of cleaning time, and their possibilities as alternative cleaning agents were evaluated. As a result, it was shown that TFEA and HFE-based non-aqueous cleaning agents have quite a good cleaning power for fluxes and fluorine soils but low one for greases. And TFEA-based agueous cleaning agents which consisted of nonionic surfactants, hydrotrope, and builders were very effective for cleaning fluxes and greases under certain formulation conditions. Thus, it was revealed that the TFEA-based cleaning agents were very effective for cleaning specific contaminants and can be used as substitutes for CFC-113 and 1,1,1-TCE in some industrial applications.

The cleaning characteristics of pulse air jet type cleaning system which is widely applied in the industries were identified by utilizing the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and the cleaning performance in modified shape of dedusting unit was compared in this study. The review on each shape of cleaning part showed that the case of installing the nozzle on the blow tube (Case-3) and the case of installing the double intaking tube to the venturi (Case-4 and Case-5) were more excellent than the structure (Case-1). Also, the optimal venturi shape was designed and examined its applicability to the site in a pilot scale plant. A combined system of a blow tube and a venturi proposed by this study turned out to be very effective for concentrating an cleaning air compared to existing systems, such as using only blow tube and combines the blow tube and venturi. In addition, as a result of installing and testing a venturi proposed by this study, the cleaning frequency and cleaning time were much improved compared to a case of using a commercial venturi that is under use at the industrial sites.
