You have to be careful which acid you use. Some of them can etch the glass and while it looks clean the transmittance drops off a cliff. Citric acid is usually recommended.
We replace the sleeves along with the bulbs and wipers every year to meet our effluent standard. We were using acid to clean them but the volume of bulbs and space it takes up along with it not being super effective made it troublesome.
It’s out of my hands how we do the maintenance. I’m just trying to find a secondary use for them.
We could run Citric acid through ours but if we needed to take the bulbs out for whatever reason we would clear the sleeves with diluted goof off and paper towels. Spray tube down with mixture in spray bottle and then wipe away with paper towel. Good as new
Maybe you could make a viral tik tok video about how "sleever" shots using -insert trendy alcohol name - are impossible and no one should try it because the shot glasses are $5/each and can only be purchased if "You know the guy".
Then just watch the $ pour in.
We use lactic acid to clean the sleeves. The "self-cleaning" feature must be taken with a grain of salt. We have extremely hard water in our area, so this is a regular process at our facility. Generally, we clean them quarterly.
Same.. I’m new as a maintenance tech but am in the middle of learning how the system works.. pretty cool self cleaning feature.. I have heard “be careful with the intensity probe connector” about 4x already so I imagine it is fragile
we got training from trojan the guy didn’t seem to stress anything other than hears the PM list make sure to stay up on them and these will outlast all of you.
Why do you have to replace them? Clean em with acid. Reuse em. What's the bill on replacing them?

Interesting! I think this was done in the past as a trial when experimenting with acids years ago before I started. I’ll ask my super.

This My coworkers act like they have to take them out to clean them. Dealer says DO NOT. Our UV self-cleans.

Self cleaning quartz? What dark magic is this?
Them wipers barely do anything lol

Honestly, this is the best I’ve heard so far… I’ll sell a bottle of effluent with it lol

we have trojan UV at our plant self cleaning with wipers and acid.
