How Tornador Works ?
The Tornador works on the principle of using compressed air to create a powerful cyclonic cleaning action. Here’s a detailed explanation of how the Tornador operates and its key components:
Components of the Tornador:
-
Air Compressor Connection:
- The Tornador is connected to an air compressor via an air hose. The air compressor provides the necessary compressed air at a controlled pressure (typically 60-90 PSI) to power the Tornador.
-
Cone-Shaped Nozzle:
- At the front end of the Tornador, there is a cone-shaped nozzle. This nozzle is designed to atomize cleaning solution into a fine mist when air is passed through it.
-
Reservoir and Solution Tube:
- The Tornador has a reservoir or canister where a cleaning solution is stored. A tube connects this reservoir to the nozzle, allowing the cleaning solution to be mixed with the compressed air as it passes through the nozzle.
Operation of the Tornador:
-
Setup:
- Connect the Tornador to the air compressor using the air hose. Ensure the air compressor is set to the appropriate pressure for the Tornador (as recommended by the manufacturer).
-
Filling the Reservoir:
- Fill the reservoir of the Tornador with a suitable cleaning solution. The type of solution used depends on the specific cleaning task and the surface being cleaned (e.g., upholstery cleaner, degreaser for engine bays, etc.).
-
Trigger Operation:
- Hold the Tornador with one hand and squeeze the trigger located near the handle. This action releases a mist of the cleaning solution combined with the compressed air through the nozzle.
-
Cleaning Action:
- As the mist of cleaning solution and air exits the nozzle, it creates a powerful cyclonic effect. This effect agitates and lifts dirt, dust, and grime from the surface being cleaned.
-
Effective Cleaning:
- The high-velocity mist penetrates into hard-to-reach areas, such as crevices, vents, and upholstery fibers, dislodging contaminants and lifting them away from the surface.
-
Drying or Wiping:
- Depending on the cleaning task, after applying the Tornador, you may need to wipe away excess moisture and loosened dirt with a microfiber towel or vacuum it up.
Benefits of Using Tornador:
- Efficiency: The Tornador reduces cleaning time compared to traditional methods, as it cleans and dries surfaces quickly.
- Versatility: It can be used for a variety of cleaning tasks inside and outside the vehicle, from upholstery and carpets to engines and wheels.
- Thorough Cleaning: Provides thorough cleaning even in hard-to-reach areas where manual cleaning might be difficult.
- Professional Results: Helps achieve professional-level cleaning results with minimal effort.
Considerations:
- Air Compressor Requirement: Requires access to an air compressor with appropriate pressure for effective operation.
- Surface Compatibility: While versatile, care should be taken with delicate surfaces to avoid damage. Adjust the air pressure and use appropriate cleaning solutions as needed.
The Tornador is a popular tool among professional detailers and automotive enthusiasts for its effectiveness and versatility in achieving deep cleaning results across various surfaces of the vehicle.
