Improvement of Engine Coolant Ultrasonic Cavitation Apparatus

Article Preview

Abstract:

The structure of cast iron specimen and the temperature control unit of the engine coolant ultrasonic cavitation apparatus were improved in this paper. The broken problem of cast iron specimen was solved by split-structure design, which also solved the loose binding problem between specimen and sonotrode. The temperature control unit included a beaker with water circulating jacket, water bath, circulating pump and connection hose. The temperature control unit overcame the difficulty of the temperature control of test coolant solution. More important, the temperature control inside the soundproof box was realized, which avoided the effect of ultrasonic vibration noise on the health of operator. The unit has the characteristics of simple, practical and easy to use.
