HOW IT WORKS.

Atomizer How It Works
Sonaer® ultrasonic atomizer nozzles are a flow through design. Liquid is pumped at the rear of the probe and travels down through the center until it reaches the vibrating tip. Once the liquid reaches the tip portion of the nozzle, ultrasonic vibrations pulverize the liquid into ultra fine particles for precise coating applications without the use of air pressure.

In the center of the probe are piezo ceramics which convert the electrical signal to mechanical vibration.  This vibration is amplified by the step that forms the tip of the probe, and is reflected back towards the piezo ceramics , mixes with outgoing waves, creating standing waves.  These standing waves cause a pumping action that sucks liquid towards the center of the probe. 

With the Sonaer atomizer probe design, liquid will spray continuously,  will not flow back into the probe from these standing waves, creating a sudden spurt of liquid, called "flashing". The spray from these atomizers will be smooth and controllable with very little over spray.  Spray thickness is nano - microns which is all user adjustable.  The thickness is set by the pumps flow rate or shot, power level of the nozzle, liquid characteristics and the time the substrate is exposed to the liquid.  For heavy coatings use low frequency probes, for ultra thin coatings use the higher frequency probe nozzles listed below.

Sonaer's
atomizer nozzle generator is state-of-the-art, with surface mount components throughout, unique software algorithms making the generator 100% digital which allows the nozzle to be controlled by a PC with "Auto Atomization Power Adjustment" (AAPA) capability. AAPA automatically adjust the power output to the nozzle with changes in liquid flows without stalling as with all other atomizer nozzle suppliers.  The nozzle generator can also be operated by the customer through .dll file protocol if desired and has infinite frequency control for changes in temperature, loads and operates all other manufacturer atomizer nozzles. Many features of our protective software tells the user if the power is too low for the liquid flow, disables power for any fault with information provided to the user on a LCD display.

Sonaer will custom make 304 or 316 stainless steel nozzles and components for customers who require these materials as a special order.  Any frequency nozzle ( 20kHz - 60kHz) can be designed and made from these materials.  Flow rates maybe different from the list below.  Seals can be either Viton or PTFE Teflon. Probe case, tube and back cover can be made in stainless steel. See DWG below for standard materials.

The tube connection at the rear is for a 1/8" diameter Swage-lock, not included, allowing connection of various fittings and manifolds for introduction of multiple liquids and gases.

Sonaer® ultrasonic atomizers come standard with flow through design for introducing liquids from the back of the probe.  The atomizer transducer is made from titanium & stainless steel and has TEFLON O-rings for atomizing many different types of solutions. Sonaer ultrasonic atomizers are easy to clean, maintain, do not clog and have no moving parts to wear out. 

Without the use of air pressure, low viscosity liquids are pumped through the center of the probe, where it is atomized into fine particles.  The particles are then used in processes either for coating, burning, moisturizing, making nano particles or other applications that require particles made from liquids. Sonaer's ultrasonic atomizer designs are anti-flashing, preventing liquid from reversing back into the probe from ultrasonic standing wave vibration and bursting out from the tip causing irregular droplets to be formed.  Smaller and more uniform droplet size is a benefit from this type of liquid atomization.

Atomizers come with Sonaer's Atomizer Digital Ultrasonic Generator, which includes variable power control, timer functions and external enable/disable interface.

Particle Size Introduction

Nebulizers make 1- 4 micron particles, TEFLON Coated available for Acetones and Ketones

Sonaer can add flanges for mounting to enclosed chambers or pipes.

Other Frequency Atomizers Available Special Order

Particle Size:

The average atomized or nebulized particle size is related to the surface tension (T), density (p) and the frequency (f) of the liquid.  The following Lang formula will help in determining particle size. 

In the case of water, where T=.0729N/m, p=1000kg/cu. m and f=50kHz, the size of the particles centers around 22.5 microns
