Effect of Laser Cleaning Parameters on Surface Filth Removal of Porcelain Insulator

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The article submitted for review is factually correct and, in my opinion, can be published.

The only item requiring minor correction is Figure 8. It is not very legible, the photo of stand 8a is unclear and there is no description of the individual elements of the stand. Photo 8b is a little confusing as it is not very clear what the first of the three photos shows.

Reviewer 2 Report

Review Manuscript machines-2208383. Effect of Laser Cleaning Parameters on Surface Filth Removal of Porcelain Insulator.

This work could be useful for people working in this field, and some contents are of interest. The manuscript could be published in Machines after some mayor revisions

2.2. Model Building

When building the model, did you assume that the laser is operating in CW mode?

The surface power density is more informative than the spot size and laser power.

Do you neglect scattering and reflection from the surface and the water/SiO2 interface when building the model?

Laser scanning speed

Surface heating by a laser depends on the power/energy density and scanning speed. Are you adjusting the scan speed based on the selected power 25 watts of?

Cleaning water content

Water does not evaporate at 433 K? If it evaporates, how was the thickness of the water layer determined?

The effect of laser power on cleaning efficiency

The method for determining surface cleaning is not clear. Photographs do not give an opportunity to assess either the initial condition and after cleaning.

Figures 6 do not contain dimensional marks and the scale of the photograph is not clear Figure 7

All black dots represent contamination? Or some of them are surface irregularities. Was the percentage of contamination up to 15 decimal places determined?

If you simultaneously increase the scanning speed and power? How will cleaning efficiency change?

The weight of the water is indicated, but on what area is it distributed?
