Steam Vapor Cleaning Ejection Seat Frames and Components Technical Evaluation
Abstract
An evaluation was performed using the Buddy Steamer System and Mini-Max Cleaning & Waste Management System(trade name) and the Anna-Sol(trade name) solutions. Both systems involved aqueous cleaning using steam-generation. Anna-Sol(trade name) is considered a good corrosion inhibitor but not a rust preventative. Corrosion prevention procedures must be implemented within 24 hr of Anna-Sol(trade name) application. The steam vapor cleaning process is optimal when individual components are removed and/or disassembled as pan of the normal task. This ensures that water is not trapped. Disassembly can be time and labor-intensive and is beyond Organizational level authority. It is pan of the normal Intermediate and Depot level process. It is recommended that steam vapor cleaning not be authorized at the Organizational level, but it is strongly recommended for Intermediate and Depot level seat maintenance. The steam vapor cleaner will result in net annual savings of $308,090 for the Navy.
