An ultrasonic transducer converts electric energy coming from an ultrasonic generator into mechanical vibrations. The SWCT-1200 water-cooled piezoelectric transducer is designed to work with the BSP-1200 ultrasonic processor. It has the power rating of 1,200 W and can operate continuously (24/7) while being cooled by water. This device is sealed to the outside environment, which makes it immune to high-humidity conditions and suitable for processing flammable materials, such as organic solvents. The SWCT-1200 transducer is compatible with all ultrasonic horn types used with BSP-1200 and LSP-600 ultrasonic processors.

Q1. Do I always need to cool my BSP-1200 (SWCT-1200) water-cooled transducer?
Yes. The SWCT-1200 transducer must be cooled with water whenever it operates (e.g., by using a suitable water chiller). The water flow rate must be at least 5 L/min and its temperature must be below 15 oC (59 oF). Operating without the cooling water may cause irreversible damage to the unit and will void its warranty.
Q2. Will the system turn off automatically if my transducer starts to overheat?
No. You must ensure that the front mass of the transducer (the part that connects to an ultrasonic horn) does not reach the temperature of 54 oC (130 oF) at any time. You can do so by monitoring the temperature sticker supplied with the unit (attached to the front mass).
Q3. Can I cool the transducer with a liquid other than water?
You can use propylene glycol-based coolants, but it is not recommended due to the associated heat transfer efficiency reduction. Do not use any organic solvents or flammable liquids to cool the transducer. Such liquids may penetrate into the internal area of the transducer, causing irreversible damage to sensitive components.
Q4. Can I use the FBH horn for LSP-600 with the SWCT-1200 transducer?
Yes. Besides ultrasonic horns typically used with the BSP-1200 processor (HBH and FBH), any of the LSP-600 processor horns (CH and FBH) can be used with the SWCT-1200 transducer.
