  • Publication number: 20240083782
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for building a closed current circuit A, in which electric charge carriers move at least through a metal conductor, a flowable medium and a resonantly mechanically vibrating metal conductor C, which is mechanically connected to elements which generate mechanical vibrations. The device is characterized in that the current circuit B generating the previously mentioned resonant mechanical vibrations is decoupled from the previously mentioned current circuit A and from the components transmitting mechanical vibrations between the elements generating vibrations and the resonantly mechanically vibrating metal conductor C, which is in contact with the flowable medium, by means of electrically non-conductive coupling elements on two sides of the vibration-generating elements.

  • Patent number: 9011698
    Abstract: A method and devices comprise a low frequency high energy ultrasound system having at least one sonotrode projecting into a reactor vessel through which the liquid passes via at least one inlet orifice and at least one outlet orifice. To avoid cavitation at the sonotrode, in a close region of the oscillation-transducing sonotrode surface a pressure/amplitude combination close to or above the pressure-amplitude characteristic line is generated at which considerably reduced or no cavitation occurs and in the adjacent region in the vessel at least in a region and at least at times a pressure/amplitude combination is maintained below the pressure-amplitude characteristic line at which cavitation is generated. A device has an inlet orifice arranged such that the liquid impacts directly onto the oscillation-transducing sonotrode surface, and is shaped that in the close region of the oscillation-transducing sonotrode surface a pressure close to or above the pressure-amplitude characteristic line prevails.
