The debate about whether the engine and the entire engine compartment are to be taken is a long time ago. Some do this procedure on a regular basis and brag about the results, others say the damage to the powertrain. Alternative to the traditional "water procedure" is the engine wash of the engine. This service has recently been offered by an increasing number of vehicles. Let' s try to figure out if we should start a steam engine and how to safely do it. Pros and cons of engine washing steam
Pros and cons of engine washing steam
The engine wash procedure consists of the following: a special steam engine room in the engine compartment under pressure shall be supplied with a dry steam. The vapour temperature is over 100 degrees.
This technology has many advantages:
- the engine nodes and the wiring don't get water, so the short circuit, like a normal wash, is excluded,
- couples are able to get into the most difficult places and effectively launder them,
- when you wash the engine in a steam engine, you don't need to use an additional car chemistry,
- do not search for a special place for washing, equipped with water, filtration system, etc.
- after the wash, there's no puddle or dirt.
If we are talking about the defects of the engine of the steam engine, there are not many: The high cost of the procedure (the washing of the engine compartment is much more expensive than the normal wash), the risk of getting a burn (as the temperature of the vapour reaches 160 degrees and it is under pressure, it needs to work very carefully with it). Whether we can wash the engine with our hands.

Whether we can wash the engine with our hands.
In the light of the latter, it is better to have the engine wash on a special wash pair. It is very difficult to wash the engine with your hands: we need special equipment, as well as very great care in handling the installation.
