Cleaning device with cleaning medium reception chamber for receiving cleaning medium after passing a device to be cleaned

A cleaning device for cleaning an interior of a device to be cleaned, wherein the cleaning device comprises:

• an adapter for mounting the device to be cleaned;
• a cleaning medium reception chamber for receiving a cleaning medium driven through the device to be cleaned when mounted on the adapter;
• a drive unit for driving the cleaning medium from a cleaning medium reservoir through the device to be cleaned, when mounted on the adapter, and into the cleaning medium reception chamber;
• a detection unit comprising a flowmeter for measuring a flow rate of the cleaning medium, and a thermometer for measuring a temperature of the cleaning medium;
• and
• a central control unit programmed to receive the temperature from the thermometer and correct the flow rate measured by the flowmeter so as to compensate a change of viscosity at changing temperatures,
• wherein the control unit is programmed to perform a heating mode before cleaning the device to be cleaned, and
• wherein the heating mode comprises circulating the cleaning medium in a heating loop which is external to the cleaning medium reservoir, the heating loop exits and enters the cleaning medium reservoir.
