TECHNOLOGY: CAVITATION

What happens inside our ultrasound shell and tube cleaning machine?

Synchronized transducers radiation of sound waves provides distinct advantages in cleaning applications. Transducers produce cyclic positive and negative pressure waves at the frequency of operation. The positive pressure wave acts as a pushing force and the negative pressure wave acts as a pulling force.

During the low-pressure phase the liquid molecules extend beyond their natural physical force, generating vacuum nuclei that continue to grow to a maximum size proportional to the applied sonic frequency. During the high-pressure phase of the next half cycle, the vacuum bubble implodes thus inducing all the energy to focus inward. The cumulative effect of millions of continuous tiny implosions in a liquid form provides the necessary mechanical energy to break up the physically / chemically bonded contaminants. The chemical composition of the medium travels through the liquid, sound wave compresses and rarefies to produce alternate zones of high- and low-pressure phases.

The energy releases from the cavitation implosion, disintegrates the contaminants, allowing the cleaning detergent/solvent to displace it very quickly. Simultaneously, this implosion also creates dynamic pressure to carry away contaminants from the substrate surface.
