Atomising and nebulising liquids by
ultrasound
Liquid feed is supplied to the oscillating sapphire glass surface, where the megahertz vibrations atomise the liquid to micron-size particles
Atomising, nebulising, fogging and spraying of samples in pharmaceutical, biological, chemical and environmental analysing processes are the domain of the new Hielscher UM20-1.6 megahertz processor With the UM20-1.6 Hielscher offers a unique ultrasonic device for the formation of aerosols

Ultrasonic transesterification of oil to biodiesel
Ultrasonication can improve the conversion processing of vegetable oils or animal fats to biodiesel by improved mixing and enhanced chemical activity
It can process liquids of up to approx 500cP at up to 450ml/hour.
Using this megahertz device, droplet sizes down to one micron can be achieved without heat transfer.
Different from spray nozzles or submersible transducers, small liquid volumes can be processed.
As this megasonic processor can be operated in air, the liquid feed is supplied to the oscillating sapphire glass surface, where the megahertz vibrations atomise the liquid to micron-size particles.
This effective cold atomising can be used for example in spectroscopy analysis.
This easy to operate ultrasonic processor consist of a transducer and a generator.
The connection cable is 2m.
It works at an operating frequency 1.6MHz +/-15%.
This makes the UM20-1.6 totally noiseless.
The active, oscillating face is made of sapphire glass, quartz glass or other materials depending on the chemical corrosiveness of the medium.
The UM20-1.6 is available as OEM-component for the integration into sample processing equipment, too. Request a free brochure from Hielscher USA ...
