ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for washing parts includes a cleaning chamber including a spray portion and a reservoir portion. The spray portion includes a support for the parts and a spray bar having at least one orifice for distributing a cleaning solution. The reservoir portion stores and collects the cleaning fluid. A thermal energy source adjusts and maintains the operating temperature of the cleaning solution in the reservoir portion. The thermal energy source retains a transfer fluid and includes a heater for adjusting a temperature of the transfer fluid. A conduit extends through the thermal energy source and defines a passageway for the cleaning fluid. A pump draws the cleaning fluid through the passageway and discharges the cleaning solution through the spray bar, such that the operating temperature of the cleaning solution is increased.
