# Industrial Specification: CIP Spray Ball System

## 1. Technical Definition
A cleaning system component that uses rotating spray balls to distribute cleaning solutions throughout tank interiors during CIP processes.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **2.0-6.0 bar (29-87 psi) at 15-60°C**. Failure boundary: **8.0 bar (116 psi) internal pressure causing permanent deformation of 316L stainless steel housing**, Mechanism: **Yield strength exceedance of 316L stainless steel (205 MPa at 20°C) leading to plastic deformation and seal failure**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Darcy-Weisbach Pressure Drop**:

> **Primary Equation**: $\Delta P = f \cdot \frac{L}{D} \cdot \frac{\rho v^2}{2}$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Critical for sizing CIP (Clean-In-Place) pump heads.

| Symbol | Variable Definition | Localized Reference |

## 5. Engineering Risks & FAQ
- **Caution**: 
- **Caution**: 
- **Caution**: 

### Q: What materials are used in this CIP spray ball system for beverage applications?
**A**: This system is constructed with 316L stainless steel for corrosion resistance and durability, with food-grade PTFE seals that meet beverage industry hygiene standards.

### Q: How does the rotating spray ball ensure thorough tank cleaning?
**A**: The rotational bearing allows the spray ball head to distribute cleaning solutions in a 360-degree pattern, covering all interior surfaces of beverage tanks during CIP cycles.

### Q: What components are included in the spray ball system BOM?
**A**: The bill of materials includes a mounting flange for secure tank installation, a rotational bearing for smooth movement, and the spray ball head that distributes cleaning solutions.
