Method for reducing the accumulation of precipitants and impurities on ultrasonic transducers

摘要

A method for reducing the accumulation of impurities on the vibrating surface of an ultrasonic transducer includes the steps of immersing the transducer in a liquid and orienting the vibrating surface of the transducer at an oblique angle to the liquid surface. At least one immersed acoustic mirror is oriented opposite the vibrating surface such that the ultrasonic waves originating at the transducer vibrating surface are reflected by the mirror and directed to the liquid surface at a predetermined angle.
