Abstract:
The apparatus for cleaning surfaces of the present invention such as for cleaning solar collectors preferably alternates different fluids and gas decompression to create a cleansing fluid evacuation to clean outdoor solid surfaces. The method of the present invention utilizes alternating fluids in order to avoid mineral deposits contaminating the collector. The apparatus of the present invention is a tool to achieve the ends of the method. The apparatus preferably uses copper piping and turbulence to regulate water flow and to create the high velocity fluid evacuation that achieves the ends of the method invention. The use of a constant pressure pump and turbulence inducing fibers allows passive regulation of pressure that is equalized across a plurality of sprayers to deliver an even amount of high velocity fluid from each sprayer. Sonication accelerates cleaning, rinsing or snow/ice removal.
