The flow vessel has a housing 14 forming a cavity 26 a connection 21 which seals the cavity and a bar-shaped sonotrode 3 projecting into the cavity which sonotrode is connected to an acoustic transducer which transmits its oscillations to the medium to be processed the connection 21 having a borehole 23 connected to an inlet 4, the borehole 23 opening out into the cavity 26 opposite the end of the sonotrode 3 and connection 21 being adjustable in order to optimise efficiency and to set a defined distance to the 15 sonotrode 3. Horn 13 which transmits oscillations to sonotrode 3 has recesses (28, 29 figure 4) to prevent transmission of 18 oscillations to jacket 15. Cooling medium can flow round jacket 15. Figures 5-7 illustrate forms of sonotrodes. <IMAGE> |
