Discover the science of cleaning small and filled gaps in electronic components with the innovative Progressive Energy Dynamics (PED) approach. Learn how it solves the challenges of shrinking space, increasing interconnect densities, and higher performance requirements. With a progressive energy design, this inline treatment system delivers exactly what is needed at each step of the cleaning process.

Progressive Energy Dynamics: Key to Low Standoff Cleaning The AAT Advantage PED The Science of Cleaning
1. What’s the Problem ? • Space under components is shrinking • Interconnect densities are increasing • Performance requirements are increasing • Lead-free & no-clean are harder to clean • Fluxes are fully filling small gaps
Fluid Flow Theory – • Cleaning Small Gaps • Depends on 2 things - - - • Physical properties of the cleaning agent • (surface tension, density and viscosity) • 2. Higher energy fluid delivery • (flow rate and impact velocity) • Energy Delivered is dependent on equation for Kinetic Energy • Kinetic Energy @ the surface = mass x velosity2 @ the surface
How much energy does it take to clean tight spaces? • Interfacial pressure differential calculation NOTE: if θ is greater than 90˚, as with water on waxy surface, the force becomes negative or repulsive. If surface is wetted, force pulls the fluid into the gap. planar cylinder γ = surface tension Θ = contact angle of liquid at surface R = radius meniscus
2. Fluid Flow Theory – Small unfilled Gaps • Relationship between gap size and capillary force for water on glass Interfacial pressure difference at equilibrium psi 10 Planar: Cylinder: 1 0.1 0.01 0 20 40 60 Gap/diameter, mils
Surface effects in tight spaces retard fluid flow (computer model of flow in 50 micron gap) Component
3. Fully Filled Gaps are Much Harder (Resistors, Capacitors, LCC’s, QFN’s)
3. Fluid Flow Theory – Filled Gaps • 3 steps are required to remove a fully blocked gap: 1 Outer solvent depleted zone softened 2 Liquid jet with sufficient energy forms flow channels 3 Bulk residue is eroded & dissolved by fluid flow Steps 2 & 3 require substantial Energy
