Conventional engine cleaning techniques mainly rely on high- pressure washing, chemical detergents, and excessive water use, all of which can harm delicate engine parts, put operator at risk for ergonomic problems, and pollute the environment. Many of the current systems are costly, large, water intensive, or unfeasible for small and local service providers, especially in developing regions, even though studies and patented technologies have confirmed the efficacy of steam cleaning in automotive applications. By creating a locally adaptable, reasonably priced, water efficient, ergonomically safe steam cleaning solution with integrated safety and vacuum support, this study overcomes these constraints. The main goal were to create and validate a portable steam cleaner that could operate at regulated temperatures and pressures while guaranteeing efficient contamination removal and user safety. The researchers used the Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) method for ergonomic assessment, mechanical performance testing, water consumption analysis, cleaning efficacy evaluation, prototype = construction, and trial-and-error parameter optimization. According to test results, the prototype reduced water consumption using a 7-liter capacity, produced dry steam at 20- 40 PSI and temperatures up to 130°C, and maintained REBA scores at medium risk or power. It also achieved at least 80% cleaning effectiveness for oil and grime contaminants. The results show the device’s potential as a useful and sustainable substitute for traditional engine washing, promoting green automotive maintenance techniques, workplace safety, and water conservation.
