摘要

Device for modifying the mechanical and/or physicochemical properties of a viscous and/or highly attenuating fluid by high power ultrasound and corresponding procedure. The device comprises a first outer tubular shell (2) defining a longitudinal direction (l), and several transducers (10) of high power ultrasound mounted transverse on the outer perimeter of the shell (2). In operation, the transducers transmit mechanical waves to the interior of the casing (2) at a frequency comprised between 10 khz and 100 khz. The device also comprises an inner body (4) surrounded by the first shell (2) to form an annular chamber (6) for processing. The transducers (10) are configured and arranged on the first shell (2) to emit mechanical waves with a power density equal to or greater than 165 w/i. The invention also proposes a method for modifying the mechanical and/or physicochemical properties of the fluids treated in the device. (Machine-translation by Google Translate, not legally binding)
