Its boasts a new display, brilliant design improvements, and additional accessories that make it the most sophisticated and versatile ultrasonic liquid processing sonicator available today. There are many variables (viscosity, concentration, etc.) If a higher processing rate is required for the same product quality, the process canbe scaled-up by switching toa larger processor (while making sure not to change any of the optimized parameters) or by using more than one processor in parallel or in series. Versatility at your finger tips. If the radiating surface is too large, even a very high power rating will result in a low power intensity and produce large, but weak cavitation field, unable to induce significantphysical and chemical effects. 0000003197 00000 n
Once the amplitude is set, it will remain at the same level throughout the process, regardless of all other conditions (like cruise control of a car, which maintains the speed at a predetermined level). A pulsing feature is standard. Process liquid tank, pump, valves, tubing and compressed air source are application specific and supplied by the operator. A Sound Enclosure (#432B) is recommended with the purchase of each Sonicator unit. Dr. Peshkovsky holds a B.A. Because of this, electrical efficiency is maintained consistently.

The user must provide approximately 10psi (5 cfm) of clean, dry air to prevent overheating of the Sonicator. The amplitude is set to a certain level in %, which corresponds to a value in microns that can be identified using the horn's calibration certificate. Pulse on and off times are adjustable to reduce the heat gain in termperature sensitive samples. Multiple tube rack options can accommodate 50ul 1ml sample volumes using a variety of standard sample tubes. The power is automatically adjusted by the generator based on aprinciple similar to that used in the cruise control of a car, where engine power output is automatically increased when going uphill in order to maintain constant speed (amplitude, in our case). After theoptimization is done, a curve similar to the examplepresentedhere(for the production of a translucent nanoemulsion) is obtained, where product quality (Mean Droplet Size, in this case) is correlatedwith the processing rate, allowing to make final setup decisions. <<4D70D526964D5140AFC7AF7BE5FA48D3>]>>
