<p>An ultrasonic apparatus and a method for improving the transfer, delivery, and flow of viscous liquids including heavy fuel and lubricating oils, such as bunker, molten metals, molten bitumens, food products, and other heavy viscous liquids. The apparatus includes a housing (102) and a means for applying ultrasonic energy (116) to a portion of the pressurized liquid as the liquid passes through the housing (102). The housing includes a chamber (104) adapted to receive viscous liquid under pressure, a second smaller chamber or vestibular cavity (142) in communication with the chamber (104), an inlet (110) adapted to supply the chamber (104) with the pressurized liquid, and an exit orifice (112) adapted to pass the liquid out of the housing (102). When the means for applying ultrasonic energy is excited, it applies ultrasonic energy to the pressurized liquid contained within the vestibular cavity.</p> |
