Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the generation of ultrasonics. More particularly it concerns devices for generating ultrasonic waves in a liquid medium, and the applications of these devices to the manufacture of emulsions; particularly emulsions of water in fuel oil and emulsions of paraffin wax or microcrystalline wax in water.
  • a jet of fluid emitted through the slit of a nozzle and having a thin blade located in front thereof with one end fixed causes said blade to vibrate.
  • the vibration of the blade is accompanied by the prop agation in the fluid of waves whose frequency depends on the geometry of the blade, its position, or more generally its situation, and the conditions of flow of the fluid.
  • Such a method can be carried out for a long period of time only by means of devices which incorporate a vibrating blade of very great endurance (i.e., capable of vibrating without difficulty over a very extended period of time). This requirement makes it necessary to use metals which are particularly resistant to the fatigue caused by numerous periodic deformations.
  • An object of the present invention is to perfect devices for generating ultrasonic waves in a fluid which does not require the use in the manufacture of the vibrating element of amaterial of particularly high performance.
  • this result is obtained by a special arrangement of the vibrating element.

  • each side plate is provided with a plurality of recesses.
  • the recesses of the two side plates are located opposite each other forming pairs.
  • the first discontinuity in the membrane is single and central.
  • the second discontinuities may be simple grooves forming a passage between the two recesses of a pair, or the second discontinuities may be more complicated and have a plurality of branches which define blades in the membrane.
  • the parameters are imparted values adapted to the power requirements of the installation. These parameters therefore have a specific value for each given installation.
  • the in vention also contemplates forming the structure of said devices in such a manner that the same side plates are suitable for a wide range of given installations with only the membranes being specific to each given installation by separately determining on the one hand the entire parameters specific to the side plates and on the other hand the entire parameters specific to themembrane.
  • the invention makes it possible to use standard elements which can be adapted to all installations whose thermal power is, for instance, between 30 and 700 therms/hour. The advantage resulting herefrom is obvious to the man skilled in the art and therefore need not be described.

  • the invention has standard side plates with a maximum number of recesses, so that these side plates can be used for a very wide range of rates of flow of fluid.
  • the member of pairs of recesses used depends solely on the number of discontinuities which the membrane has. The more discontinuities the membrane has the higher the number of pairs of recesses which it places in communication, and the higher the rate of flow of fluid which the installation can accommodate all other things being equal)
