Heating – For ultrasonic transducers in freezing cold environments.
For use in winter environments, we are glad to equip our transducers with an additional heater. This prevents the transducer from freezing and enables reliable measurement results even in ice and snow. The heating is realized by a tiny, built-in heating resistor. In addition, we reduce the structure-borne noise that occurs in cold conditions by using an adapted potting compound and optimized mounting.
Thus, your transducer works smoothly and reliably even in frosty ambient conditions.
We are happy to customise our tried-and-tested standard transducers with optional extras to meet your individual requirements. Browse through further information on our design options. Get in touch with us! We look forward to hearing from you.
Further information on heated ultrasonic transducers
The integration of a heater in ultrasonic transducers is a significant innovation that offers numerous advantages in various industrial and medical applications. Ultrasonic transducers are devices that generate and receive sound waves in the ultrasonic range. They are used in many industrial areas. One of the main applications is anemometry for wind measurement on wind turbines. However, one of the challenges of using this technology is that temperature influences affect the efficiency and accuracy of the transducers. This is where the integration of a heater comes into play.
Because integrating a heater into the ultrasonic transducer allows the temperature of the transducer to be kept constantly above freezing, this means more accurate measurements and better results.
In industrial manufacturing, a heated ultrasonic probe can also help to improve the performance of the transducer in extreme temperature environments. Very low temperatures affect the performance of the transducers, which can reduce the accuracy and efficiency of the ultrasonic transducer. Therefore, an integrated heater ensures that the transducer works optimally even under difficult conditions.
In addition, the heater protects the transducer housing from condensation, which can occur especially in humid environments. As a result, condensation can disrupt the function of the transducer and shorten the service life of the device. The integration of a heater minimises this risk.
Overall, the integration of a heater in ultrasonic transducers offers significant advantages in terms of measurement accuracy, reliability and device lifetime. This development therefore represents an important step in the optimisation of ultrasonic technology for a wide range of applications. It helps to increase the performance of this technology in demanding environments.
