鉄道各所へのウルトラファインバブル水の応用 (ブラシ洗浄機による洗浄効果とクロス拭き時の摩擦低減効果).

In the present study, two experimental examples as the applications by ultrafine bubble for railway fields are introduced. The first one was confirmed the cleaning effects of ultrafine bubble water on the brush cleaning machine used in the station buildings. It was found that the removal rate was increased by using ultrafine bubble in the brush cleaning machine compared to the tap water. However, it was also shown that the removal rate increased or decreased with respect to the number of rotations of the brush and the pressing force, and there were some conditions in which the effect of the ultrafine bubble could not be confirmed. In this experiment, it was shown that unevenness on the floor surface and dirt, and microbubbles grew from ultrafine bubble may be important for cleaning effect and understand of the mechanism. The second one was shown an interesting effect that the friction reduction effect by microcloth with ultrafine bubble water. In this experiment, the static frictional coefficient and dynamic frictional coefficient of the microcloth with tap water and ultrafine bubble water were measured on the glass plate. As the results, it was found that both frictional coefficients were decreased by ultrafine bubbles but when the glass plate was not dirty, both frictional coefficients did not decrease.
