I just recently reviewed two HEAVY pressure washing contracts, that will likely take a lot higher pressure equipment then most of us own. I thought it was interesting that the specified maximum temperature for the equipment was 220 degrees in both contracts.
This is why it is interesting. In the past, for the same contracts, which I have looked at multiple times, they specified up to 250 degree temperatures to remove oil, rubber and paint. The contracting organization found that super high temperatures were not nearly as effective for cleaning as lower temperatures, because by the time the water cooled enough to no longer be a gas, it was too cool to be able to clean effectively.
I just thought it was interesting that some people agree with me.
