ULTRASOUND FLOW REACTOR Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC B01F11/02 

FIELD: process engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to mixing of fluids and can be used for processing of fluids, particularly: for dispersion, emulsification and homogenization. Proposed reactor comprises tube-like working chamber with ultrasound converters secured at tube lengthwise axis and in tube perimeter and acoustically connected therewith. Tube features a square in cross-section, square side length being equal to λ, where λ is ultrasound oscillation wavelength in processed fluid. Said ultrasound converters are identical and grouped in sets of four and secured at intersections of n lines of working chamber perimeter, working chamber wall mid lines being parallel with its lengthwise axis, where n makes 1, 2, 3, …. Said converters secured at working chamber opposite walls are connected in counter phase while they are connected in preset order on mid lines of chamber walls.

EFFECT: higher efficiency of process fluid processing.
