High-pressure cleaners and power washers are two important machines and equipment in the cleaning field, each with its own characteristics and application occasions.
The working principle of a high-pressure cleaner is that a power device (such as a high-pressure pump) generates high-pressure water to impact and remove dirt. The “power system” here refers to the mechanical system that runs around the high-pressure pump.
Power washers are electric devices that use hot water as a medium for washing. They are simple and easy to use, low cost, and easy to update components. However, hot water inheritance is poor and the performance of the washing machine is limited.
On the other hand, high-pressure cleaners can comprehensively remove all kinds of surface dirt, while power washers are mainly used to remove sanitary ware with slight indoor dirt.
The following is a detailed comparison of the working principle, application range and design purpose of high-pressure cleaners and power washers:
- Working principle
High-pressure cleaner: Use a booster pump to pressurize water and impact the surface of the object with high-pressure water flow to remove and wash away dirt. High-pressure cleaners are usually divided into two types: cold water and hot water. Hot water cleaners use a heating device to increase the water temperature, thereby improving cleaning efficiency, especially for oil and stubborn dirt.
Power washer: usually refers to cleaning equipment driven by a power device (such as an electric motor, gasoline engine or diesel engine), which can include high-pressure cleaners, but may also involve other types of cleaning equipment. Power washers are more diverse in design and may be used for a wider range of cleaning tasks.
- Application range
High-pressure cleaners: widely used in the cleaning of automobiles, building exteriors, equipment, swimming pools, etc., suitable for occasions requiring high-pressure water flow. They have different models and configurations for household, commercial and industrial applications.
Power washer: In addition to the high-pressure cleaning function, power washers may also be used for other types of cleaning operations, such as floor cleaning, pipe cleaning, etc. They have a wider range of applications, and different cleaning methods can be selected according to different needs.
- Design purpose
High-pressure cleaners: mainly designed for efficient cleaning, emphasizing water pressure and cleaning effect, suitable for handling various dirt and cleaning tasks.
Power washers: Designed to be multi-functional, they may have other uses besides cleaning, such as water jet cutting, and are suitable for specific industrial needs.
Summary
High-pressure washers are more effective and are suitable for removing stubborn dirt and oil stains from surface gaps and surfaces of objects; while power washers are flexible and convenient and are suitable for general cleaning. Which equipment to choose depends on the specific cleaning needs and usage environment.
