to obtain the dragging force. For the validation of the
results, laboratory tests were made with an industrial
alternative compressor, which did not presented a
good pressure control. With the intention of obtaining
better pressure control, a system with 6 nitrogen gas
cylinders was used to make the cleanness of the
insulators. By the results, it was observed that the
pressure to be used in the exit of the nozzle must be
bigger that 30 bar. Only from this pressure, the
simulation presented a significant field of forces
acting on the surface of the insulator. In the
simulation was given priority to the nozzle of 2 mm of
diameter, since the nozzle used in the cleanness tests
also had this diameter. The image of the simulation
can be seen in Figure 1. Fig. 3. Washing with pistol
