Catalytic cleaning of ovens. Process description

What is the catalytic cleaning of the oven? The answer to this question is provided in this article.

Catalytic cleaning of ovens is an accelerated chemical reaction of the decomposition of fats into organic residues, carbon and water under the influence of fat-consuming substances (oxidants). The composition of the absorbing surface includes a chemical oxidation catalyst, an absorbent with nano-particles, a porous and nonporous substrate. The principle of this process is that the fat that accumulates during direct cooking decomposes into soot and water, then absorbed by the sorbent. It follows that in order for catalytic cleaning of the ovens, it is not necessary to separately include another special regime, it occurs automatically when cooking as a result of a chemical reaction. The maximum efficiency of decomposition of impurities is reached at a temperature of 200 degrees Celsius. One of the features that catalytic cleaning of ovens possesses is that it can be used in both gas and electric cabinets, because the technologies for the production of grease-absorbing enamel and the oxidation catalysts present there are the same everywhere, regardless of the model or brand. This is an important property of this process.

Catalytic cleaning of ovens: advantages and disadvantages

The merits include:

- economy (based on energy consumption, as cleaning is done directly at the time of cooking);

- possibility to use in ovens with different types of consumed energy;

- quality depends mainly not on the manufacturer, but on how much the surface is bent, on which the grease-absorbing enamel is applied;

- relatively inexpensive.

Disadvantages:

- has less efficiency with respect to other types of cleaning, except washing the oven working chamber manually;

- since the grease-absorbing enamel is not applied to the bottom and the inner surface of the door, they do not have catalytic cleaning properties;

- does not completely exclude the manual washing of surfaces, as, indeed, other types of cleaning;

- loses the properties of self-cleaning at the point where milk and sweet products get into contact;

- is more effective in frequent use, because At one time unable to decompose large fat spots;

- requires periodic replacement of the plates or their reversal, if they are two-sided, because After 4-5 years, these elements lose their cleaning properties.

The result

The catalytic type of oven cleaning is suitable for those who cook often and wants to save on energy consumption, simplify the process of washing the oven. The main goal of many people now is to save money. They should buy a gas oven with this function. However, one should take into account that if you save on the cost of this cabinet, the problem arises of replacing the panels after their expiration. And also these gas ovens have significantly less functionality than their electric counterparts.
