The Steamers are made by PDQ _http://www.minimaxcleaner.com/_ 
(http://www.minimaxcleaner.com/) 
Max Friedheim is the contact.  We have Three system the two chamber  the four 
and the Six.  We have clients in the disaster recovery industry  that have a 
Tsunami Batch Cleaner with a low pressure spray using  EnviroGold 816 and a 
Four Chamber PDQ steamer for a very effective trailer  batch cleaning system.

Subject: Re: [TN] Cleaning  No-clean

Dan and Brian
We have qualified clients who clean a no  clean and have since the mid 90's  
(Les Hymes was one of the first).  But we have found that with a rescue 
cleaning 
and only if you have water  tolerant parts (if not those need to be removed) 
that  you can  effectively clean a residue that was not designed to be 
cleaned. 
These residues do need a good saponifier, low pressure inline (not able to  
do in  a standard batch system), heated to 140-150 F wash and rinse  with DI 
water at 10  meg ohm or better, but this is not enough by  itself but we 
found 
that if we use  DI steam after wash and before  rinse then we are able to 
clean 
under low  standoff components,  BGA's, and with a little help QFN and PQFN 
packages.   We  presented this information at the IPC Midwest Expo 2007, 
authored 
by   Eric Camden.  We have successfully been rescue cleaning for the last  7  
years no clean assemblies that were 6-12 months old.  So it  is very doable  
but 
standard batch cleaning with a saponifier has not  proven to us or our  
customers who we have help implement this type  of cleaning that batch or  
standard 
inline cleaning is able to do the  job.

"Generally speaking I have not seen good results in trying to  clean  off
no-clean flux. They call it "no-clean" for a  reason."

Agreed!!!  Even if you succeed to do the job well - it  can be done with 
some fluxes -  it will not be very easy and may be  quite costly. I have 
always said, if  you clean, use a flux which was  designed from the start 
for easy  cleaning.
