Abstract
A device for washing, sanitizing, and/or sterilizing an item is disclosed. The device may comprise a solution applicator for coating a surface of said item with a washing, sanitizing and/or sterilizing solution. The device may also comprise a heating unit for heating the solution coated on the surface of said item to a working temperature. The device may further comprise a control unit for keeping the temperature of the treating substance at the working temperature for a predetermined amount of time.
Claims14
A composition of matter comprising:
- a solvent selected from water, alcohols, mixtures of water with one or more alcohols, and mixtures of two or more alcohols;
- a detergent;
- and
- an RF active component wherein the ratio of the RF active component to the solvent is larger than 1,
- wherein the composition of matter has one or more of
- (a) a dielectric constant, for at least one RF frequency, larger than 10 and larger than a dielectric constant of the solvent by at least 10%;
- (b) a dielectric loss, for at least one RF frequency, larger than 0.5 and larger than a dielectric loss of the solvent by at least 10%;
- (c) a heat capacitance lower than a heat capacitance of the solvent by at least 10%;
- (d) a boiling point higher than a boiling point of the solvent by at least 10° C.;
- (e) a vapor pressure that is lower than a vapor pressure of the solvent by at least 10% at 20° C.;
- and
- (f) a viscosity that is higher than a viscosity of the solvent by at least 10% at a temperature of 40° C. or below.
